MEDICAL  EDUCATION,  MEDICAL  COLLEGES  AND  THE 
REGULATION  OF  THE  PRACTICE  OF  MEDICINE. 

This  Report  had  its  origin  in  1880,  in  the  "Report  of  the  Committee 
on  Medical  Education  of  the  Illinois  State  Board  of  Health,"  which  con- 
sisted of  five  pages  (in  the  "Third  Annual  Report  of  the  State  Board  of 
Health")  with  a  small  table  of  colleges.  In  this  committee's  report  the 
schedule  of  minimum  requirements,  which  went  into  effect  In  1883-84, 
was  made  out  and  adopted  by  the  Illinois  State  Board  of  Health.  Some 
of  the  suggestions  then  offered  hold  to-day  as  well  as  they^did  ten  years 
ago,  ialthough,  as  will  be  seen  by  a  careful  examination  of  this  Repokt, 
great  changes  for  the  better  have  talten  place. 

It  is  too  shamefully  true  that  at  present  many  students  are  admitted  to 
the  lecture  courses,  whose  illiteracy  prohibits  their  profiting  by  the  in- 
struction given,  except  in  the  narrowest  limits,  and  precludes  the  possi- 
bility of  their  attaining  such  knowledge  as  the  duties  of  the  profession 
positively  demand. 

Natural  talent  and  aptitude  may  go  far  toward  fitting  a  man  for  any 
calling,  but  no  talent  can  take  the  place  of  thorough  education  in  a  pro- 
fession where  such  large  fields  of  knowledge  are  to  be  mastered,  and  so 
many  and  such  important  judgments  are  to  be  constantly  and  promptly 
formed. 

It  is  a  palpable  absurdity  to  expect  to  make  skillful  physicians  of  illit- 
erate students  by  mere  dint  of  reading  them  lectures,  even  when  accom- 
panied by  quizzes  and  examinations.  It  is  doubtful  whether  any  exami- 
nation of  qualification  such  as  can  be  made  at  the  crowded  opening  of  a 
session  can  be  relied  upon  to  assume  the  requisite  preparation  for  admis- 
sion. 

Not  less  than  three  full  years  should  be  devoted  to  a^ diligent  study  of 
medicine,  before  graduating  or  commencement  of  practice.  Whoever  will 
consider  the  extent  of  the  several  branches  of  science  to  be  mastered  by 
the  student  of  medicine,  will  easily  conclude  that  three  full  years  will  af- 
ford but  scanty  time  for  the  work.  It  is  doubtful  whether  any  true 
scholar  would  attempt  to  do  this  work  in  such  time  without  great  hesi- 
tation. 

In  1881  the  report  on  medical  colleges  and  on  medical  education  occupied 
fifty-seven  pages  in  the  "Fourth  Annual  Report  of  the  State  Board  of 
Health  of  Illinois."  This  was  the  first  time  that  the  medical  colleges  of 
the  United  States  and  Canada  were  classified.  After  ten  years  it  is  felt 
that  the  enormous  labor  involved  in  preparing  the  diJerent  editions  of 
the  Report  on  Medical  Education  has  been  amply  repaid  and  justified, 
and  it  is  hoped  that  the  present  Report,  by  giving  information  in  regard 
to  all  the  medical  teaching  bodies  in  the  world,  will  do  much  to  increase  the 


o'2> 


IV 


knowledge  in  regard  to  medical  education,  and  by  giving  the  requirements 
in  all  countries  will  do  much  to  bring  about  a  higher  standard  in  this 
"country. 

Until  the  second  Report  of  this  Roaud  (in  1881)  all  that  was  generally 
known  of  the  medical  colleges  in  this  country  was  printed  in  tabulated 
form  in  the  reports  of  Hon.  John  Eaton,  then  U.  S.  Commissioner  of 
Education. 

A  comparison  of  this,  the  Sbventh  Report  on  Medical  Education', 
with  the  one  for  1890  shows  that  some  marked  changes  have  taken  place 
in  the  past  year,  and  when  a  review  is  made  of  the  changes  for  the  better 
since  the  session  of  1882-83,  there  is  much  cause  for  congratulation  and 
encouragement.  There  are  now  148  medical  colleges  of  all  kind  ia  exist- 
ence In  the  United  States  and  Canada,  there  being  135  in  this  country 
and  13  in  Canada.  In  1882  the  number  of  colleges  requiring  certain  edu- 
cational qualifications  for  matriculation  was  45;  in  1886,  114;  in  1889,  117; 
in  1890,  124;  and  In  this  Repout  129*. 

In  1882  the  number  of  colleges  that  required  attendance  on  three  or  more 
courses  of  lectures  before  graduation  was  22;  1886,  41;  in  1889,  47;  in  1890, 
64;  in  this  Report,  85.  Of  the  148  colleges  all  have  chairs  of  hygiene  ex- 
cept 14t,  making  123  that  teach  this  branch,  while  119  now  have  chairs  of 
medical  jurisprudence.  In  1882  hygiene  was  taught  in  52,  and  medical 
jurisprudence  in  61  colleges;  in  1886  each  branch  was  taught  in  110  colleges; 
in  1889,  117  taught  hygiene,  and  112  medical  jurisprudence;  and  in  1890, 
hygiene  was  taught  in  119,  and  medical  jurisprudence  in  114  colleges!. 

There  has  been  also  a  gradual  Increase  in  the  duration  of  the  lecture 
terms  from  an  average  of  23.5  weeks  in  1882-83,  to  26.3  weeks  in  1890-91. 
In  1882-83  there  were  eight  colleges  that  had  but  16  weeks.  The  number 
of  colleges  having  terms  of  six  months  or  more  is  now  111.  In  1882-83  the 
number  was  42;  it  was  49  in  1884.  50  in  1885,  52  in  1886,  55  In  1887,  63  in 
1888,  68  in  1889,  and  76  in  1890. 

There  are  now  in  the  United  States  32  examining  and  licensing  bodies 
that  do  not  give  instniction,  and  2  in  Canada.  The  following  table  shows 
the  work  of  the  examining  and  licensing  bodies  that  examine  all  appli- 
cants for  license  to  practice:

*There  are  now  in  IlUnols  two  graduates  studying  the  throe  B's  on  probation  for  a

tDuring  the  past  year  two  collcgea  have  died  of  inanition.

NoTi.— Looking  simply  at  the  percentage  of  rejected  oandidates,  it  would  seem  that 
the  graduates  of  American  schools  have  done  as  well  before  the  State  Boards  of  Exam- 
iners as  the  applicants  before  the  Prussian  Oommissioners.  But  a  study  of  the  German 
method  of  examining  (given  in  this  Befobt)  will  show  that  candidates  in  this  country 
are  not  subjected  to  as  severe  tests  as  are  candidates  in  Germany. 


A  careful  examination  of  the  foregoing  tables  will  show  that  there  are 
marked  differences  us  to  the  severity  of  the  examinations  held  by  the  State 
Boards,  or  else  that  the  graduates  going  from  certain  colleges  before  cer- 
tain boards  are  much  better  qualified  than  the  average  of  the  graduates 
of  those  schools.  It  is  a  fact  that  the  examination  papers  vary  greatly,  and 
the  table  is  not  a  positive  index  of  the  work  of  the  schools  represented. 
To  correct  these  differences  and  have  more  uniform  examinations  there 
should  be  a  meeting  of  the  examining  boards  of  the  different  states,  and 
and  some  system  adopted  by  which  examination  papers  may  be  exchanged. 


\  fl 


•Eejeoted  previous  year. 


The  work  of  the  boards  may  be  facilitated  In  doubtful  cases  If  they  will 
refer  to  the  pages  of  this  llBkH)KT  for  the  status  of  the  colleges  represented 
by  applicants. 

It  Is  a  matter  of  Importance  that  the  work  Of  these  examining  boards 
should  bo  as  uniform  as  possible,  in  order  to  Dring  about  the  best  results 
BO  far  as  medical  education  and  the  regulation  of  the  practice  oi  medicine 
are  concerned.  The  difficulties  incident  to  divided  and  limited  jurisdic- 
tions would  thus  be  overcome,  and  the  work  made  broader  and  more  na- 
tional in  its  character.  Unless  this  is  done,  owing  to  the  frequent  changes 
of  residence  by  medical  men,  repeated  examinations  become  onerous,  and 
In  some  cases  work  hardship.  This  is  one  of  uiany  good  reasons  for  try- 
ing to  secure  cooperation  and  uniformity  of  action  in  issuing  and  recog- 
nizing certificates  of  examination  by  the  various  boards. 

If  this  course  is  adopted.  It  will  furnish  facilities  for  the  investigation 
of  the  character  of  applicants  when  removing  to  other  states, .  as  experi- 
ence has  taught  that  graduates  having  diplomas  from  some  of  the  best 
medical  colleges,  or  those  who  have  passed  a  good  examination,  occas- 
ionally become  the  greatest  professional  frauds.  Knowledge  of  the  his- 
tory of  the^-e  men,  thus  obtained,  would  assist  In  preventing  their 
being  licensed  in  other  states,  and  would  exercise  a  supervision  over  all, 
which  would  do  much  towards  upholding  the  morale  O''  the  profession. 

The  laws  under  which  these  boards  work  are  different  in  some  respects, 
and  the  conditions  of  examination  differ.  In  the  case  of  at  least  twenty 
schools  the  results  of  the  examinations  give  too  much  or  too 
little  credit  in  the  table.  Some  of  the  applicants  are  recent  graduates,  and 
others  have  been  in  practice  for  some  time. 

It  has  been  the  practice  of  this  Boakd  to  recognize  the  certificates  of 
examination  issued  by  other  Boards.  ' 

The  following  tables  are  interesting: 
Standing  in  bach  Section  of  the  AppI/^oants  Eejkcted  September 

3d  and  4th,  1890,   BY  THE  MEDICAL  EXAMINING  BOAUD  OF  VlUQINIA, 

AND  THE  Colleges  fkom  which  they  Received  Diplomas. 


V  '1 


The  standard  of  requirements  for  license  is  an  average  mark  of  75  per 
cent,  on  the  whole.  If,  however,  an  applicant  receives  less  than  33i  per 
cent,  in  any  one  of  the  eight  Sections,  he  is  rejectek. . 

[This  Table  is  introduced  solely  for  the  tjurpose  of  indicating  the 
branches  of  study  in  which  the  greatest  deficiencies  of  preparation  of  the 
applicants  are  most  noticeable.  In  addition,  it  should  be  remarked  that 
had  it  been  required  to  rate  the  applicants  on  ordinary  correctness  of 
English  grammar,  at  least  one-third  of  those  who  passed  satisfactory  ex- 
aminations on  the  required  branches  of  medical  study  would  have  received 
very  low  markings,  and  far  more  than  one-half  of  those  rejected  shov/ed, 
in  their  examination  papers,  lamentable  ignorance  of  English  composition, 
spelling,  etc— Secretary  of  the  Virginia  board.]

Preliminary  Education.— Special  attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that 
in  some  of  the  largest  universities. in  this  country  coursef^  preliminary  to 
,the  study  of  medicine  are  now  offered— the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
Cornell,  Yale,  Princeton,  Lake  Forest  and  Northwestern  Universities,  Johns 
Hopkins  and  the  University  of  Wisconsin.  That  it  is  wise  for  students 
to  take  such  courses  before  bep'.uning  the  study  of  medicine  there  can  be 
no  doubt— as  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  day  is  past  when  the  strictly 
i  classical  course  is  entirely  suflBcient  to  fit  any  one  for  the  study  of  medi- 

cine. It  is  interesting  to  note  in  this  connection  that  the  emperor  of 
Germany  has  fallen  in  line  with  modern  thought  and  has  recently  declared 
against  the  excessive  time  and  labor  expended  upon  the  classical  course. 
Harvard  University  has  made  arrangements  by  which  the  students  in- 
tending to  study  medicine  can  take  a  special  A.  B.  course  in  three  years. 
An  attempt  has  been  made  to  establish  a  course  preparatory  to  the  study 
of  medicine  at  the  University  of  Michigan,  but  the  scheme  did  not  suc- 
ceed.   The  plan  was  as  follows:  '

Such  a  plan  is  undoubtedly  a  good  one,  and  the  better  because  it  offers 
the  B.  Sc.  instead  of  the  B.  A.  degree.  Such  a  course  as  the  one  offered 
by  the  University  of  Wisconsin  should  undoubtedly  be  accepted  as  one  of 
the  four  years  of  medical  study,  but  not  as  the  equivalent  of  one  of  the 
three  courses  of  lectures,  though  it  should  be  accepted  in  lieu  of  one  course 
of  medical  lectures  when  four  course.'!  of  lectures  are  required,  as  mast  be  the 
case  during  the  present  decade.    As  can  be  seen  from  this  Report  there

Is  a  marked  Increase  In-  matriculation  requirements  as  compared  with  last 
year,  aud  more  attention  is  being  given  by  the  literary  colleges  to  an 
education  for  the  study  of  medicine.  The  facilities  for  obtaining  a  higher 
medical  education  are  Increasing  yearly,  and  is  hoped  that  the  day  is 
not  far  distant  when  the  standard  of  medical  education  will  be  as  high 
in  this  as  in  any  other  country.  '  .        • 


Four  Yeabs'  Study  and  Three  Courses  of  Lectures. 

There  can  be  no  longer  any  doubt  that  the  movement  for  four  years  of 
medical  study  and  three  courses  of  lectures,  with  higher  preliminary  edu- 
cation, will  be  successful.  At  the  meeting  of  the  American  Medical  As- 
sociation in  Nashville,  n  May,  1890,  the  American  Medical  College  As- 
sociation was  formed  and  adopted  the  following: 

RULEB  GOVEBNINO  THE  ADiaSSION  OF  OoLLEaES  TO  MeMBBBSHIP  IN  THE  i.  Tb    BIOAN  MED- 
ICAL ASSOCIATIOIir. 

1.  That  the  colleges  shall  require  a  graded  c  jo  of  instruction  covering  a  period  of 
not  less  than  three  courses  of  lectures  of  six  months  duration  each  before  graduation. 

2.  That  oral  and  written  examinations  be  required  of  all  students. 

3.  That  a  thorough  course  of  laboratory  instruction  be  maintained  In  chemistry,  hlstol- 
oly  and  pathology. 

4.  A  preliminary  entrance  examination,  consisting  of: 

1.  A  composition,  written  in  English,  of  not  less  than  two  hundred  words. 

2.  The  translation  of  easy  Latin  prose.        ,s.V    " 

■  -'  .  '' 

It  Is  provided,  however,  that  sttidents  be  allowed  one  year  to  make  up  any  deflcienSy 

of  this  examination. 

3.  An  examination  in  higher  arithmetic.      .■.;.;.';    .'    .  -  ■      v^ ''»,':'',' 

4.  An  examination  in  elementary  physics.  Jl '   / - 

It  is  provided,  however,  that  candidates  who  are  graduates  or  matriculates  of  recog- 
nized colleges  of  literature,  science  and  artii,  or  graduates  of  normal  schools  supported  by 
the  different  states,  bo  exempt  from  the  proyisions  of  this  examination. 

By  resolution  it  was  determined  that  the  colleges  entitled  to  representation  in  this  con- 
vention shall  enforce  the  above  curriculum  at  the  commencing  of  the  session  of  1892-93. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  American  Institute  of  Homoeopathy,  at  Waukesha, 
Wis.,  on  June  20,  1890,  the  Institute  adopted  the  following  recommenda- 
tions of  its  Intercollegiate  Committee: 

On  and  after  the  fall  of  1892,  in  all  colleges  represented  In  tha  Intercollegiate  Committee 
of  the  American  Institute  of  Homoiopathy  the  term  of  study  required  for  graduation  shall 
be  at  least  four  years,  which  shall  include  attendance  upon  not  less  than  three  terms  of 
six  months  each.  i'-  .>■'-•'  .,-  ■  ' 'y'-z&i^i 

No  person,  unless  ho  prespnt  a  diploma  or  certificate  of  graduation  from  an  accredited 
university,  college,  academy  it  high  school,  or  a  teacher's  certifloate  which  shall  be  ap- 
proved by  the  faculty  as  equivalent  to  the  examinations  required,  shall  be  admitted  to  the 
second  year  of  study,  and  the  first  course  of  lectures  in  any  of  the  colleges  ropresonted  in 
this  committee,  without  having  passed  a  written  examination  upon  the  following  subjects: 

1.  English  composition,  by  writing  at  the  time  of  examination  an  essay  of  not  less  than 
two  hundred  words,  from  which  may  be  judged  the  writer's  proficiency  In  grammar, 
spelling  and  writing.  ,.  .  .,  .   ,     , 

2.  Arithmetic  as  far  as  square  root.    "■  '        •        '    •     ■•  '         ,. ;.      ■.•''•-'.

4.  History,  such  an  outline  of  the  history  of  modern  civilized  nations,  especially  of  the 
United  States,  as  is  contained  in  ordinary  manuals  of  history. 

6.  Latin,  suiQolent  to  read  easy  prose  and  to  give  a  fair  comprehension  of  soientiflc

"Human  Body." 

8.  Obemlstry,  as  comprised  in  MlUer's"£lementry  Chemistry." 

9.  Botany  as  found  in  an'elementary  manual. 

It  shall  be  understood  that  the  first  of  these  four  years  of  study  shall  have  been  devoted 
to  the  preliminary  medical  studies,  as  outlined  by  this  committee,  and  that,  upon  success- 
fully  passing  the  above  examination,  the  student  shall  have  fulfllled  the  requirements  of 
the  first  year  of  medical  study. 

All  the  bomoeopathic  medical  colleges  in  the  United  States  except  the 
Kansas  City  Homoeopathic  Medical  College  are  in  the  Intercollegiate  Com- 
mittee of  the  Institute. 

The  following  eclectic  medical  schools  now  require  four  years'  study  and 
three  full  courses  of  medical  lectures: 
Bennett  College  of  Eclectic  Medicine  and  Su.-gery,  Chicajfc 
American  Medical  College,  St.  Louis. 
California  Medical  College. 

Eclectic  Medical  College  of  the  City  of  New  York. 
Ecleccic  Medical  Institute,  (Cincinnati. 

In  addition  to  the  colleges  marked  in  thi  Hepout  "Diplomas  not  rec- 
ognized," or  "Diplomas  recognized  conditi  Uy."  and  the  obviously 
fraudulent  institutions,  the  Board  in  1890  recognized  conditionally  the 
diplomas  of  25  colleges  because  of  non-compliance  with  the  schedule  of 
minimum  requirements.  Before  being  granted  certificates  the  graduates 
of  these  schools  were  required  to  supplement  their  applications  with  satis- 
factory evidence  and  by  examination  in  the  branches  in  which  their  col- 
legiate education  was  deficient. 

The  following  inetitutions  have  adopted,  or  will  do  so  at  the  dates  set 
opposite  their  titles,  the  requirements  of  longer  terms  of  study,  as  a  con- 
dition precedent  to  graduation:

Durlug  the  year  the  list  of  colleges  that  now  require  or  will  require 
Iwithin  one  or  two  }'•  irs  more  courses  and  time  of  study,  has  grown  con- 
Isiderably.  There  are  34  colleges  that  now  or  will  soon  require  four 
[years'  study  and  three  courses  of  lee     es,  11  that  now  or  will  soon  require

four  years'  study,  4  that  have  or  will  soon  have  four  courses,  and  17  that 
will  require  three  courses  of  lectures  In  the  fall  of  1891  or  1892,  exclusive 
of  those  having  that  requirement  now.    Thus  the  list  of  colleges  In  the 
United  States  that  require  but  two  courses  and  have  made  no  provision; 
for  longer  study,  is  reduced  to  21.  j 

The  Chicago  Medical  College  was  the  first  medical  college  in  this  couP-| 
try  to  adopt  the  three  years'  graded  course  of  study,  as  is  shown  by  thei 
following: 

The  following  is  a  correct  copy  of  action  taken  at  a  meeting  of  the  fac- 
ulty of  the  Chicago  Medical  College  on  the  4th  day  of  June,  1868. 

"It  was  voted  that  we  divide  our  ourrloulum  of  Instruction  In'o  three  suooesslve 
courses  of  Instruction,  corresponding  to  the  three  years  of  study,  as  shown  In  the  fol- 
lowing schedule. 

"Junior  Courae.— Deiorlptlve  anatomy,  physiology  and  hlstoloy.  Inorganic  chemistry, 
materia  medlca  and  therapeutics,  dissection. 

"Middle  Course— General  pathology  and  pathological  anatomy,  surgical  anatomy  and 
operations  of  surgery,  organic  chemistry  and  toxicology,  public  hygiene,  medical  juris- 
prudence,  oinio  Instruction  in  the  hospital. 

"Senior  Cowrse.— Principles  and  practice  of  medicine,  principles  and  practice  of 
surgery  and  mili*ary  surgery,  obstetrics  and  diseases  of  women  and  children,  diseases 
of  the  respiratory  and  circulatory  organs,  clinical  instruction  lu  the  hospital. 

It  was  also  voted  that  each  course  of  winter  lectures  be  of  six  months'  duration, 
and  each  summer  course  of  three  months. 

It  was  voted  that  every  student  applying  for  matriculation  be  required  to  show,  either 
by  certificate,  or  by  examination,  that  he  possesses  a  good  English  education,  includ- 
ing the  first  series  of  mathematics  and  the  elements  of  natural  sciences." 

H.  A.  Johnson,  ) 

President  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College.       *

din  this  movement  of  advancing  the  standard  of  medical  education  and 
regulating  the  practice  of  ncodicine,  much  assistance  is  derived  from  the 
work  of  various  state  boards  of  medical  examiners.  An  impetus  has 
been  given  by  the  formation  of  the  American  Medical  College  Association.! 
The  National  Institute  of  Homeopathy  and  the  Ifational  Eclectic  Medical' 
Association  have  endorsed  the  requirement  of  four  years'  study,  as  they 
have  already  done  that  of  three  annual  courses  of  lectures.  ; 

Several  boards,  having  authority  similar  to  the  Illinois  Board,  hav(^ 
already  adopted  the  requirement  in  this  respect,  and  those  that  have  not 
already  done  so,  will  iu  a  short  time  co-operate  in  this  movement. 

The  potency  of  this  factor  will  be  appreciated  when  it  is  considered 
that  these  boards  directly  control  the  recognition  of  diplomas  in  an  area 
embracing  about  41,000,000  people,  and  indirectly  in  almost  the  entire 
atea  of  the  United  States;  and  that  a  number  of  them  exercise  jurisdiction 
in  the  new  States  and  Territories. 

The  movement  for  a  higher  standard  of  medical  education  has  aow 
acquired  a  momentum  that  will  probably  result  in  the  control  of  medical 
education  and  the  regulation  of  medical  practice  in  every  State  and  Ter- 
ritory (except,  perhaps,  Alaska)  during  the  present  decade.  The  indica- 
tions are  that  in  the  course  of  another  year  at  least  100  colleges  in  this 
country  will  require  four  years'  study.      vy     .     ,-*  ■■■■%  ,      i

Registration  of  Students.— With  four  years'  study  and  three  courses 
of  lectures  assured,  it  seems  proper  that  the  different  boards  of  medical 
examiners  and  the  colleges  should  cooi)erate  in  establishing  some  system 
of  registration  of  medical  students  before  they  enter  college,  in  order  that 
[the  fourth  year  of  study  may  not  be  mere  form.  By  a  system  of  regis- 
ration,  the  colleges  and  boards  can  know  just  how  long  any  particular 
'Student  has  been  engaged  in  the  study  of  medicine.  Such  a  system  is  la 
use  in  Great  Britain,  Canada,  and  several  foreign  countries. 

Under  the  schedule  of  two-year  courses  and  three  years'  study  the  earliest 
age  at  which  a  student  can  be  graduated  is  21  years.  The  addition  of 
one  year  each  to  the  time  of  study  and  the  college  term  would  seem  to 
justify  the  limitation  of  the  minimum  age  of  graduation  to  22  years. 
This  is  a  matter  that  the  boards  of  examiners  and  the  colleges  would  do 
well  to  take  under  consideration. 

The  following  table  shows  the  age  at  graduation  or  license  of  5,719 
practitioners,  as  obtained  from  the  records  of  the  Loakd:

XVIII 

This  table  shows  that  diplomas  have  been  granted  at  an  aarller  age  i 
this  than  in  any  other  country,  and  also  to  persons  of  more  advanced  age 
In  the  latter  case  many  of  the  graduates  attended  one  course  of  lectures 
went  into  praptice  and  graduated  after  longer  or  shorter  periods  of  prai 
tlce.  This  custom  has  almost  entirely  disappeared  at  this  time,  owing  i 
the  laws  in  the  different  States.  In  the  United  States  it  's  sometim* 
the  case  that  young  men,  after  obtaining  an  academic  education  go  int 
business  or  teach  school  in  order  to  malce  money  to  attend  medical  le( 
tures.  Again,  many  young  men  that  intended  to  study  medicine  wen 
into  one  oi  the  armies  when  the  war  broke  out,  and  studied  medicin 
after  the  war.  The  passage  of  medical  practice  acts  in  some  of  the  State 
caused  many  that  had  no  diplomas  to  attend  lectures  and  graduate. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  inexact  manner  in  which  the  titles  of  medi 
cal  colleges  are  given  by  some  of  the  state  medical  authorities.  The  lia 
of  medical  colleges  whose  diplomas  are  registered  in  Tennessee  (as  pull 
lished  by  the  Secretary)  contains  several  names  of  colleges  that  have  neve 
existed,  and  in  many  cases  the  titles  of  colleges  that  have  existed  or  nov 
exist  are  wrong.  This  was  doubtless  the  fault  of  the  county  clerks  wh( 
registered  the  diplomas,  but  at  the  same  time  it  is  important,  in  view  o 
the  fact  that  there  are  so  many  fraudulent  diplomas  in  existence,  that  th 
exact  title  of  the  institution  or  authority  issuing  the  diploma  or  the  1 
cense  be  given.  Mistakes  in  titles  have  occurred  in  every  list  of  col- 
leges sent  to  the  Secretary  from  different  Boards  of  Examiners.  j 

In  the  cases  of  some  colleges  it  has  been  found  that  the  lists  of  ma| 
triculates  have  been  padded,  in  order  to  show  that  the  college  is  more 
prosperous  than  it  really  is  or  else  to  reduce  the  percentage  of  graduate* 
to  matriculates.  Such  a  course^  reacts  upon  the  college.  The  padding  is 
almost  surely  discovered,  and  suspicion  is  at  once  aroused  that  the  college 
is  resorting  to  other  methods  that  are  not  strictly  honorable.  A  kin  to  this 
is  the  practice  of  issuing  announcements  wiohout  printed  lists  of  matricu- 
lates. This  always  causes  serious  annoyance  to  the  graduates  of  such 
schools  when  they  wish  to  obtain  the  license  to  practice  ain  Illinois. 

Another  noticeable  feature  of  the  college  announcements  in  this  country 
is  that  the  good  work  of  the  school  is  generally  in  inverse  proportion  ta 
the  amount  of  vain-glorious  boasting  in  the  announcements.  Should  indi- 
vidual members  of  the  medical  profession  make  use  of  such  boastful  and 
"puflSng"  language  in  regard  to  themselves  as  is  used  in  some  college  an- 
fiouncements  in  regard  to  the  colleges  and  their  teachers,  they  would  be 
unhesitatingly  set  down  as  quacks  and  unworthy  of  membership  In  a 
scientific  body  of  any  kind.  Until  the  contrary  is  proved  or  asserted  it  is 
generally  taken  for  granted  that  a  teacher  in  a  medical  college  is  a  gen- 
tleman and  qualified  to  teach  his  particular  branch.  The  first  s(<p  to- 
wards casting  a  doubt  upon  such  an  assumption  Is  a  printed  pufif  of  the 
teacher  in  his  college  announcement,  as  the  following:     ,       -

this  subject,  and  has  accepted  the  position  of  professor  of  this  dennttment 

These  Important  branches  of  medical  science  are  in  ohartte  of  a  man  of  wide  reputation 

|m  an  obstetrician.    His  long  and  suceessful  experience  as  a  lectui  or  and  teaeher  in  this 

lepartment  Is  well  known,  and  eminently  flts  him  for  the  position.    His  lectures  will  be 

plain,  practical  and  instructive,  embraoing  everything  both  in  theory  and  practice  that  is 

Important  to  be  uuderstoodLt 

Such  boasting  Is  not  confined  to  heralding  the  qualities  of  the  teachers. 
jOne  of  the  various  forms  In  which  It  appears  is  that  of  insisting  that  the 
(college  has  a  charter.  No  one  ever  has  a  doubt  that  a  school  doing  good 
[work  has  a  charter.    When  a  school  has  to  sing  praises  to  Its  charter  In 

Its  announcement,  there  Is  good  reason  to  suspect  that  the  charter  is  the 

best  feature  of  the  Institution. 

A  third  form  In  which  this  boastful  spirit  appears  is  that  of  describing 
the  location  and  appointments  of  the  college,  of  claiming  unexampeled 
prosperity  (sometimes  when  the  college  is  about  to  die  of  inanition),  and 
of  describing  long  known  and  used  methods  of  Instruction  as  new  and 
peculiar  to  the  college. 

Extravagant  and  untrue  assertions  In  the  pages  of  an  announcement  are 
usually  accompanied  by  a  high  percentage  of  graduates  to  matriculates, 
bad  work,  low  standard  both  for  entrance  and  graduation,  and  not  infre- 
quently by  non-recognition  of  the  diplomas  or  rejection  by  boards  of  exam- 
iners. 

There  are  colleges  In  tills  country  that  sometimes  write  to  students  of 
other  colleges,  offering  them  lower  rates  or  shorter  terms,  or  both.  Such 
action  is  not  honorable.  It  Is  quite  as  dishonorable  as  for  a  private  prac- 
titioner to  solicit  the  patients  of  another  practitioner,  and  is  doubtless 
stimulated  by  a  desire  for  large  classes  and  by  the  great  competition  between 
some  of  the  colleges. 

*A  fact  so  universally  admitted  that  it  seems  scarcely  necessary  to  call  attention  to 

it   This  is  taken  from  the  announcement   of   an college.    Other   professors   are 

spoken  of  in  a  like  manner. 

+From  the  announcement  of  a school,  in  which  similar  pen- portraits  are  drawn 

of  other  teachers  and  their  work.

and  h  wa  Boards  after  the  session  of  1890-91,  and  by  the  Bont  (Is  of  Examiners  of  New  York 
after  September  1, 1891.  There  will  probably  be  throe  more  State  examining  boards  in  the 
next  year. 

Instruction  in  State  Medicine.— It  seems  proper  to  refer  here  to  the 
fact  that  by  a  recent  law  no  one  can  be  appointed  a  medical  oflBcer  of 
health  in  Great  Britain  unless  he  have  a  special  diploma  in  public  health. 
Among  the  teaching  institutions  in  London  will  be  noticed  the  College  of 
State  Medicine,  and  diplomas  in  public  health  are  now  given  by  several 
British  teaching  institutions.  It  would  be  a  step  forward  if  some  of  our 
better  endowed  universities  would  establish  departments  of  State  medi- 
cine.   It  is.  interesting  to  note  that  the  contract  has  been  signed  for  the

erection  of  a  building,  to  co6t  $RO,000,  for  hygienic  Instruction,  as  an  an- 
nex to  the  UnlverBlty  of  Pennsylvania.  For  this  institution  the  Unlver- 
Blty  of  Pennsylvania  and  the  profession  aVe  Indebted  to  Mr.  Henry  C.  Lea, 
of  Philadelphia.  When  it  is  completed  the  University  will  l)e  in  a  posi- 
tion to  offer  thorough  instruction  in  hygiene  and  state  medicine.  Hygiene 
is  now  taught  in  all  the  medical  colleges  In  the  United  States  and  Canada 
except  the  fourteen  following: 

Oroaa  Medical  Oollegv,  DmiTmrt  Colorado* 

National  Medical  College,  WachlngrtoB,  D.  0. 

Medieal  Department,  National  Unlveraity,  Wa«liington«  D.  O. 

Medloal  College  of  Oeorgla,  Aaiyaeta,  G(a. 

Atlanta  Medloal  College,  Atlanta,  Qa. 

Woauu'a  Medical  College  of  Georgia  ^and  Training  School  for  Nuraea» 
Atlanta,  Oa. 

Itonlerllle  National  Medieal  College,  Lonlsrllle,  Ky. 

Detroit  College  of  Medldne,  Detroit,  Mich. 

Xteonard  Medloal  School,  Raleigh,  N.  O.

Tenneaaee  Medical  College,  Knozville,  Tenn. 

Hannibal  Medieal  College  of  Memphie,  Tenn. 

Texas  Medical  College  and  Hospital,  ChtlTCston,  Texas. 

UnlTersitT'  of  Virginia. 

It  is  to  be  regretted  that  in  many  colleges  the  amount  of  instruction  in 

hygiene  is  so  small  as  to  be  of  but  little  value. 

The  Dkgukb  of  M.  D.  in  the  United  States.— No  one  making  a  careful 
study  of  this  Report  and  of  the  pages  given  to  foreign  institutions,  can  fail 
to  l)e  struck  with  the  cheapness  6f  the  American  degree,  in  regard  to  its 
bost  in  time  and  uioney  and  as  regards  the  requirements  for  it.  Through- 
out the  civilized  world  the  value  of  an  article  is  measured  by  its  cost  and 
by  the  time  necessary  to  produce  it.  With  the  exception  of  Belgium  this 
Is  the  only  country  in  the  world  where  the  license  to  practice  and  the 
M.  D.  degree  can  be  had  after  not  more  than  three  years  of  study.  A 
distinguished  professor  in  one  of  our  colleges  has  asserted  that  i^-  merican 
students  learn  faster  than  foreign  youths,  and  therefore  do  nut  require  so 
long  a  term  of  study— they  can  learn  just  as  much  in  a  shorter  time. 
Whatever  truth  there  might  be  In  this  if  the  rireliminar^  education  of  Amer- 
ican medical  students,  as  a  class,  was  as  good  as  that  of  foreign  students, 
the  assertion  is  obviously  erroneous  when  certain  facts  are  l)orne  in  mind. 
The  preliminary  education  of  the  average  American  student  is  much  less  than 
that  of  the  foreign  one.  It  requires  a  certain  amount  of  time  for  a  person 
to  acquire  habits  of  scientific  and  logical  thought.  In  the  case  of  many 
American  medical  students  these  habits  are  not  formed  when  he  begins  the 
study  of  medicine.  We  mistake  the  name  of  the  thing  for  the  thing  Itself. 
Many  medical  men  of  world-wide  reputation,  especially  in  Great  Britain,  have 
not  the  M.  D.  degree,  but  the  lack  of  it  has  not  embarrassed  them  in  any 


XXIII 

■way.  The  American  degree  Is  too  cheap  In  many  cases,  especially  as  regards 
the  amount  of  money  it  costs,  often  on  account  of  the  competition  for  stu- 
dents. The  average  fees  for  the  eleven  London  schools  are,  excl  sive  of  the 
oxamination  fees,  £118  5«.;  for  the  provincial  schools  X98.  In  addition,  each 
student  has  to  pay  from  lOs.  to  £5  matriculation  to  one  of  the  degree- 
Sranting  bodies;  from  £1  to  £15  for  the  first  examination;  from  I.  to  £10 
for  the  second;  from  £2  to  £15  for  the  first  degree  or  qualification  exami- 
nation, and  from  Jlu  to  £15  for  the  second  qualification  examination.  In 
some  of  the  colleges  in  the  United  States  all  the  fees  do  not  amount  to 
^00,  and  In  at  least  one  the  whole  course  of  study  and  the  diploma  can 
be  had  for  $1.38.  A  careful  study  of  the  systems  of  education  In  foreign 
countries  shows  tha*  a  large  part  of  the  time  and  much  of  the  money 
are  spent  In  acquirinp  practical  knowledge  of  medicine  by  actual  work  In 
hospitals,  and  this  •won  is  test<ed  by  practical  examinations,  such  as  are 
too  Infrequent  in  th's  country.  Too  often  the  American  graduate  attends 
his  first  case  of  labor  after  he  begins  practice.  Such  Is  not  the  case 
abroad.  The  same  Is  true  of  other  conditions  that  physicians  and  sur- 
geons are  called  upon  to  treat.  The  defects  in  the  American  system  of 
medical  education,  then,  are:  a.  Too  little  preliminary  education,  and 
thus  a  lack  of  ability  to  grasp  scientific  principles.  2.  Too  much  didactic 
work  by  the  teachers.  3.  Too  little  clinical  work  by  the  students.  4. 
DO  few  tests  of  practical  work.  5.  Too  short  a  time  of  actual  work  and 
study.  Increasing  the  preliminary  qualifications  and  lengthening  the  time 
of  study  will  remedy  the  other  defects,  and  will  kill  off  the  useless  and 
low-class  schools. 

The  following  tables  will  show  the  progress :made  towards  higher  medi- 
cal education  In  the  United  States  during  the  past  ten  years.  It  will  be 
seen  that  not  much  progress  was  made  during  the  fifty  years  preceding 
1880,  though  it  is  true  that  in  1868  the  three  years'  graded  course  move- 
ment was  begun.  The  colleges  began  to  adopt  this  course  gradually,  but 
in  1880  there  were  but  nine  colleges  in  the  United  States  that  had  adopted 
it,  while  in  1890  the  number  of  schools  having  it  was  62.  In  this  way 
the  repetitlonal  course,  so  long  in  vogue,  is  being  gradually  abolished,  and 
from  present  indications  there  will  not  be  many  colleges  that  will  con- 
tinue this  course  after  a  year  from  this  time.  It  will  be  seen  also  that 
In  other  respects  the  teaching  and  the  facilities  for  clinical  instruction 
Lave  been  greatly  improved,  as  necessitated  by  the  progress  in  medical 
science.  The  table  is  now  much  more  complete  than  ever  before,  since  it 
gives  the  record  of  all  the  matriculates  and  graduates  for  ten  years.

From  the  foregoing  tables  it  will  be  seem  that  for  the  session  of  1887-88, 
as  compared  with  that  of  1886-87,  there  was  an  increase  of  1,034  in  the 
total  number  of  matriculates;  in  1888-89,  compared  with  session  of  1887-88, 
there  was  an  increase  of  1,187;  and  in  the  session  of  1889-90  as  compared, 
with  the  previous  session,  there  was  an  increase  of  1,216.  In  the  session 
of  1887-88  In  the  United  States  there  was  an  increase  of  759  matriculates, 
and  for  session  of  1888-89,  compared  with  previous  year,  there  was  an  in- 
creapo  of  1,135  students,  a  greater  increase  than  has  occurred  within  the  \^ 
last  seven  years,  and  in  1889-90  as  compared  with  the  previous  year,  there 
was  an  increase  of  1,141.  The  increase  of  students  in  the  United  States, 
however,  has  been  only  3,020  for  ten  years.  The  smallest  number  for  any  y 
one  year  in  the  ten  was  10,987  in  1884-85,  a  reduction  due  to  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  schedule  of  minimum  requirements  after  1882-83. 

The  total  number  of  graduates  was  a  decrease  of  48  for  the  session 
1888-89,  compared  with  that  for  the  session  1881-82,  but  in  1889-90  there 
was  an  increa'^e  of  282  over  1881-1882.    In   the   United   States  there  were 


^v'. 


XXVII 


26  more  graduates  in  1889-90  than  In  1881-82.  In  Canada  there  has  been 
an  increase  in  the  same  period  of  256  graduates. 

There  has  been  a  slight  decrease  in  the  percentage  of  graduates  to 
matriculates  for  the  session  of  1889-90,  as  compared  with  that  of  1888-89, 
land  the  percentage  is  now  lower  than  ever  before.  This  is  more  marked 
i'n  the  United  States,  as  since  the  session  of  1881-82  the  percentage  has 
been  yearly  decreasing.  fy 

When  the  requirement  of  four  years  of  study  and  three  annual  courses 
of  lectures  is  carried  i.nto  effeet,  the  decrease  in  percentage  will  again  oc- 
cur, and  continue  until  it  reaches  an  average  of  25  per  cent.  As  a  general 
rule  the  graduates  to  matriculates  in  individual  schools  is  a  good  criterion 
of  the  character  of  the  work  done;  there  are,  however,  exceptions,  in 
which  (a)  more  rigid  preliminary  requirements,  and  (b)  the  desire  of 
students  to  avail  themselves  of  superior  clinical  advantages  that  are  pos- 
sessed by  some,  but  not  by  all  colleges,  tends  to  swell  their  percentage. 

This  exceptional  j  obtains   more   especially  in  these  schools   which 

heretofore  have  req.       1  but  two  courses  of  lectures  before  graduation. 

In  anticipation  of  the  increased  length  of  time  of  study  with  the  ad- 
ditional requirements  before  graduation,  the  probabilities  are  that  there 
will  be  an  increase  of  students  and  also  of  graduates  in  the  next  year. 
The  influence  and  results  accomplished  by  the  requirement  of  four  years' 
study  and  three  courses  of  lectures  will  not  become  fully  apparent  until  the 
end  of  the  session  1892-92, 

By  way  of  contrast  to  the  good  results  already  accomplished  there  has  been 
an  addition  during  the  past  year  of  five  new  colleges  to  the  list,  a  greater  in- 
crease than  occurred  for  ten  years  previously,  except  in  1889  when  eight  new 
schools  came  into  existence.  In  this  connection  it  becomes  a  serious 
question  to  consider  in  regard  to  any  new  school,  whether  it  is  properly 
equipped  from  a  teaching,  a  laboratory  and  a  clinical  standpoint.  Can  it  be 
said  with  truth  that  there  is  any  necessity  for  additions  to  the  present 
large  number  of  medical  schools,  some  of  wUich  are  not  now  properly  pro- 
vided for,  and  therefore  hold  out  inducements  with  results  which  tend  so 
much  to  cast  a  stigma  upon  medical  training  and  medical  diplomas  in  the 
United  States?*  Some'of  the  colleges  now  in  existence  have  not  adequate 
clinical  facilities.  One  school  had  not  enough  dissecting  material  in  1889- 
90,  and  some  of  its  students  were  graduated  without  having  dissected, 
More  attention  should  be  paid  to  securing  endowments  for  medical  insti- 
tutions now  existing,  giving  them  more  aad  better  facilities  to  instruct, 
than  to  the  creation  of  new  schools  inadequately  endowed.  This  would 
be  to  the  direct  advantage  of  the  public  and  profession,  exerting  a  pow- 
erful influence  in  raising  the  standard  of  medical  education  in  our  coun- 
try. We  hope  the  day  will  come  when  the  diplomas  of  all  American  Med- 
ical Schools  will  have  recognition  throughout  the  civilized  world. 

*The  orazo  for  establlphlnK  medical  colleges  commenced  In  the  Unit* id  States  about  1840, 
and  continued  uninterruptedly  until  1880,  when  there  was  a  lull,  but  it  seems  to  have  broken 
out  again. 

The  chances  of  survival  of  new  colleges  will  better  appreciated  when  it  is  borne  in  mind 
that  since  1850  there  has  eon  a  mortality  of  three  per  year,  and  that  at  this  time  more  Is 
required  of  the  graduates  of  such  institutions  than  at  any  period  in  the  history  of  medical 
education  In  this  country.

The  schedule  of  minimum  requirements  of  the  Illinois  State  Boakd  of 
Health  went  Into  effect  after  the  session  of  1882-^3.  Talcing  the  periods 
of  three  years  each  of  1880-88  and  1883-86  it  is  seen  that  the  most  marked 
effect  was  in  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Michigan,  Missouri  and  Ohio,  which 
had  2,257  fewer  students  and  727  fewer  graduates  in  the  second  than  the 
first  period,  mainly  owing  to  the  matriculation  requirements  of  the  Board, 
though  these  states  gained  about  500,000  population  in  the  second  period 
of  three  years.  In  four  states  with  an  increase  of  population  of  833,784 
in  the  past  ten  years,  ther^  was  an  increase  of  1,487  stutlents  out  of  a 
total  increase  of  3,020  for  the  United  States  while  the  total  increase  of 
population  was  over  12,000,000.  ^  .  •        ' 

By  making  a  careful  study  of  the  following  table  and  of  the  colleges 
enumerated  in  the  Report  the  causes  of  the  increase  of  students  will  be 
evident.

In  May,  1867,  there  was  held  in  Cincinnati  a  convention  of  delegates 
from  the  medical  schools  of  the  country,  and  resolutions  were  passed  rec- 
ommending changes  in  the  methods  of  study,  advising  four  years  of  study 
instead  of  three.  "These  propositions,"  says  Dr.  H.  A.  Johnson,  "no 
doubt  faithfully  represented  the  opinions  of  those  teachers  when  at  a  dis- 
tance from  their  institutions,  but  they  had  altogether  a  different  set  of 
ideas  when  the  question  was  presented  in  its  financial  aspects  at  home.* 
•History  of  the  Chicago  Medical  College,  1870. 


■a  -.i'A-.

Nothing  came  of  this  Cincinnati  convention.  Ten  years  afterwards  at 
the  meeting  of  the  American  Medical  Association  in  Chicago,  in  June, 
1877,  representatives  from  thirty-one  medical  colleges  in  the  country  formed 
the  Association  of  American  Medical  Colleges,  and  adopted  a  constitution, 
by-laws  and  articles  of  confederation.  The  articles  prescribed  that  at  and 
after  the  session  of  1879-80  the  regular  session  should  not  be  less  than 
twenty  weeks,  that  the  term  of  study  should  be  not  less  than  three  years, 
and  the  number  of  sessions  not  less  than  two. 

At  its  meeting  In  1880  the  Association  increased  the  requirements  to  three 
courses  and  agreed  upon  prallminary  examinations  as  condition  of  admis- 
sions after  the  session  of  1882-83.  This  Association  dissolved  in  1881,when 
the  time  approached  for  the  increased  requirements. 

In  October,  1880,  the  Illinois  State  Board  of  Health  adopted  its  sched- 
ule of  minimum  requirements,  to  go  into  effect  after  the  session  of  1882-83. 
In  adopting  these  requirements  the  Illinois  Board  simply  enforced  what 
the  colleges  had  already  and  repeatedly  acknowledged  to  be  a  necessity. 
This  sciiedule,  which  is  now  In  force,  is  as  follows: 


■ii^!ir 


Schedule  of  Minimum  Requirements.

VI.  Time  of  pkofeshionai.  studies.— This  shall  not  be  less  than  three 
full  years  before  graduation,  including  the  time  spent  with  a  preceptor, 
and  attendance  upon  lectures  or  at  clinics  and  hospital. 

YII.  Tnsthuction.— The  college  must  show  that  It  has  a  sufflclent  and 
competent  corps  of  instructors,  and  the  necessary  facilities  for  teaching, 
dissections,  clinics,  etc.  ,  '      ,  •     r,        ' 

Diplomas  of  colleges  whose  educational  requirements  and  methods  of 
instruction  fall  short  of  the  above  Schedule  are  not  recognized  as  entitling 
their  i)ossessors  to  certificates  authorizing  thdm  to  practice  in  the  State 
of  Illinois.  (This  does  not  apply  to  diplomas  issued  prior  to  the  sessions 
of  1883-84,  but  only  to  those  Issued  at  the  close  of  said  sessions  and  sub- 
sequently). The  only  way  in  which  holders  of  such  diplomas  may  legally 
enter  upon  pre  tice  In  this  State  Is  by  passing  a  satisfactory  examination 
before  the  Board  on  the  branches  or  subjects  of  the  Schedule  omitted. 

This  Schedule  Is,  therefore,  the  test  of  the  "good  standing"  of  a  medi- 
cal college  in  Illinois.  Only  the  colleges  which  come  up  to  this  minimum 
standard  are  accounted  as  In  "good  standing."  To  determine  the  status 
of  any  given  institution,  it  Is  only  necessary  to  compare  the  summary  of 
the  institution  set  forth  In  the  following  pages  with  the  above  Schedule. 

At  the  April,  1886,  meeting  of  the  Boabd,  the  following  preamble  and 
resolution  were  adopted :  "  *     . 

Whbbas,  The  continuous  graduation  of  forty-five  (45)  per  cent,  of  the  total  number  of 
matriculates  of  a  medical  coUeKO— due  allowance  being  made  for  the  average  annual  loss- 
must  be  accepted  as  prima  facie  evidence  that,  practically,  every  candidate  Is  graduated 
without  regard  to  competency  or  qualification;  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  no  medical  college  be  recognized  as  in  good  standing  within  the  mean- 
ing and  intent  of  the  "  Act  to  Regulate  the  Practice  of  Medicine  in  tne  State  of  Illinois,"  the 
aggregate  graduates  of  which  college  amount  to  forty-flve  (45)  per  cent,  of  its  aggregate 
matriculates  during  any  period  of  Ave  (6)  years  ending  with  a  session  subsequent  to  the 
session  of  1885-86. 

NEW  BEQUIKEJIENTS.  ■^ 

At  the  July,  1887,  meeting  of  the  Boakd,  the  following  resolution  was 

adopted : 

Hesolved,  That  the  phrase,  "  medical  colleges  in  good  standing,"  in  the  first  section  of 
the  "  Act  to  Regulate  the  Practice  of  Medicine  in  tho  Slate  of  Illinois."  approved  June  16, 
1887,  is  hereby  defined  to  include  only  those  colleges  which  shall,  after  the  sessions  of  1890- 
91,  require  four  years  of  professional  study,  including  any  time  si)ent  with  a  preceptor,  and 
three  regular  courses  of  lectures,  a**  conditions  of  graduation,  and  shall  otherwise  conform 
to  the  Schedule  of  Minimum  Requirements  heretofore  adopted  by  the  Boabd. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Boakd  held  at  Chicago  May  24, 1889,  the  following 
resolution  was  adopted:  :  .  V 

Hesolved,  That  by  authority  of  tho  "Act  to  Regulate  the  Practice  of  Medicine  in  the 
State  of  Illinois,"  approved  .Tune  16, 1887.  the  following  Schedule  of  Minimum  Requirements 
for  Schools  of  Midwifery  be,  and  hereby  is,  adopted:

AliABAMA. 

THE  MEDICAL  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  STATE  OF  ALABAMA. 

'  Jebome  CocHEAN,  M.  D.,  Montgomery,  Senior  Censor. 

The  Board  of  Censors  of  the  Medical  Association  of  the  State  of  Aiabtuna,  and  the 
Boards  of  Censors  of  the  several  County  Medical  Societies  in  affiliation  with  the  State 
Medical  Association,  are,  under  the  law,  the  authorized  Boards  of  Moilical  Examiners. 
The  State  Board  is  composed  of  ton  members,  elected  by  the  State  Association,  and  each 
County  Board  of  tlvo  membern,  elected  by  the  County  Society.  Diplomas  of  Medical 
Colleges  confer  no  right  to  practice  medicine  in  Alabama.  Nothing  does  except  the  certifi- 
cate of  one  of  the  examining  boards,  based  upon  actual  examination  of  the  applicants. 
The  County  Boards  examine  none  but  the  graduates  of  reputable  medical  Colleges,  the 
diplomas  serving  simply  as  a  means  for  getting  before  the  Boards.  The  State  Boai-d  alone 
examines  non-graduatos.  The  rules  for  the  government  of  the  examining  boards,  includ- 
ing the  standard  of  qualincations  and  the  branches  of  medicine  to  be  included  ill  the  ex- 
aminations, are  all  piescribod  by  the  rStato  Association.  The  examinations  ai-e  both  oral 
and  written,  but  the  principal  stress  is  plaeed  on  the  written  examination,  which  usually 
occupies  about  one  week.  The  answers  to  the  questions  are  valued  according  to  their 
completeness  and  accuracy,  and  an  aggregate  of  7f)%  out  of  a  possible  100%  is  necessary  to 
pass  the  applicant.  The  examination  papers  are  careluUy  written  and  bound,  and  are 
filed  in  the  State  Board  jf  Health  olnce.  They  are  all  carefully  reviewed  by  the  State 
Board,  which  makes  to  the  State  Association  a  special  report  on  the  character  of  the  exam- 
ination of  each  separate  applicant. 

The  Alabama  law  to  Kegulate  the  Practice  of  Medicine  was  enacted  in  1877.  It  was  ap-

FORNIA. 


Total  number  licentiates  in  Register  March,  1890, 2,283. 

The  present  medical  law  has  been  in  force  for  nearly  thirteen  years,  and,  with  few  ex- 
ceptions, all  qualified  practitioners  of  California  have  complied  with  its  provisions.  Atten- 
tion is  called  to  the  following  preamble  and  resolutions  adopted  January  4, 1'  ^8. 

Whereas,  the  law  to  regiilate  the  practice  of  medicine  in  the  State  of  Caiirornia  pro- 
vides that  the  Board  of  Examiners  in  the  discharge  of  its  offlcial  duties  shall  determine  whpt 
colleges. are  in  good  standing,  whose  diplomas  may  be  presented  by  applicants  for  certifi- 
cates under  the  law; 

And  Whereas,  it  is  apparent  that  the  protection  of  the  public,  and  the  best  interests  of 
the  profession  require  a  nigher  standard  of  medical  education  than  that  which  is  now 
adopted  by  many  Medical  CoUeges, 

Therpfore,  Resolved,  That  on  and  after  April  1. 1891.  the  Board  ol  Examiners  of  the 
Medical  Society  of  the  State  of  California  will  not  grant  cortlflcatos  to  practice  medicine  on 
diplomas  issued  after  that  date  by  Colleges  whicli  do  not  require  that  all  candidates  for 
graduation  shall  ha-»o  studied  modifiino  not  loss  Ihiin  thren  full  years,  and  shall  have  at- 
tended not  less  than  three  full  reeular  courses  of  lectures  delivered  during  three 
separate  years.

THE  COLLEGE  OF  PHYSICIANS  AND  SURGEONS  OP  ONTARIO. 
ToBONTo,  Ontario.    Eobbet  A.  Ptne,  M.  D.,  M,  0.  P.  8.  O.,  Registrar. 


The  Medical  Profession  in  Ontario  was  first  incorporated  under  this  name  bv  an  Act  of 
Parliament  of  Canada,  passed  In  1866.  This  act  was  subsequently  repealed  by  the  Legisla- 
ture of  Ontario  in  1869.    The  present  Act  was  passed  in  187-1,  and  amended  in  1887. 

The  central  examining  board  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  is  composed  of 
such  elements  as  fairly  represent  every  interest  in  the  profession;  and  its  examinations. 
are  conducted  so  as  to  inspire  the  fullest  confidence  on  the  part  of  the  several  colleges,  and 
of  the  students  attending  these  institutions. 

A  Council  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  Is  created,  empowered  and  di- 
rected to  enact  By-Laws  for  the  regulation  of  all  matters  connectedl  with  medical  education 
for  the  admission  and  enrollment  of  students  of  medicine ;  for  determining  from  time  to 
time  the  curriculum  of  the  studies  to  bo  pursued  by  them  and  to  appoint  a  Board  of  Exam- 
iners before  whom  all  must  pass  a  satisfactory  examination  before  they  can  bo  enrolled  as 
members  of  the  College,  and  thus  be  legally  oualiflod  to  to  practice  their  profession  in  the 
Province  of  Ontario.  The  only  mode  in  wiiich  medical  m  -n  duly  qualified  to  practice  in 
other  countries  can  become  legally  entitled  to  practice  In  Ontario,  is  by  license  from  the 
Counoil. 

Annual  meeting  is  held  on  second  Tuesday  in  June  of  each  year,  at  Toronto.  The 
Counoil  is  composed  of  twelve  territorial  representatives  who  are  elected  by  members  of 
the  College  and  of  one  member  from  each  of  the  Colleges  and  bodies  in  the  Province  now 
authorized  or  hereafter  to  be  authorized  bylaw  to  establish  a  Medical  Faculty,  and  grant 
degi-ees  in  Mediciae  and  Surgery,  and  serve  for  a  period  of  five  years.  A  most  Important 
provision  is  made  that  no  teacher,  professor  or  lecturer  shall  hold  a  seat  in  the  Counoil  ex- 
cept as  a  representative  of  the  College  or  body  to  which  he  belongs.  Homeopathists  are 
represented  on  the  Council  by  five  members,  but  in  matriculation  and  primary  professional 
work,  extending  through  the  first  two  years,  all  candidates  have  to  undergo  the  same  ex- 
amination. 

A  special  examiner  Is  appointed  in  case  any  candidate  desires  to  be  examined  and  reg- 
istered as  a  Homeopathic  praetiouer. 

An  annual  assessment  of  "not  less  than  81,  or  more  than  82,"  can  be  levied  on  each 
registered  practioner. 

The  Council  has  the  right  to  approve  a  tariff  of  fees,  for  medical  services,  and  the  act 
declares  who  are  entitled  to  registration  as  licensed  praotioners. 

Penalties  are  provided  for  neglecting  to  register  or  for  falsification  of  record.  Fees  can- 
not be  recovered  nor  appointments  held  In  the  public  service  by  those  not  registered. 

Following  are  the  requirements  of  the  Examining  Board  for  1890-91.

'    '*         T.  A.  Hughes,  M.  D.,  Secretary  and  Treasurer,,  Denver,  73016th  Street. 

The  Colorado  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners,  authorized  by  legislative  enactment, 
approved  March  14, 1881,  has  a  membership  of  nine  practicing  physicians,  appointed  by  the 
Gfovernor  of  the  State,  who  hold  their  positions  for  a  term  of  six  years. 

Itisreauirodof  every  person  practicing  medicine,  in  any  of  its  branches,  that  he  shall 
present  his  diploma  to  the  Board  of  Medical  Examiners  for  verification,  or  famish  other 
conclusive  evidence  of  his  being  a  graduate  of  a  medical  school  in  good  s  anding.  If  not  a 
graduate,  the  applicant  is  required  to  present  himself  for  examination  by  the  members  of 
the  Board,  who  may  question  him  in  whole,  or  in  part,  in  writing,  on  the  subjects  of  anat- 
omy, physiology,  surgery,  obstetrics,  chemistry,  pathology  and  practice  of  medicine. 

All  persons  who  have  made  the  practice  of  medicine  and  surgery  their  profession  or 
business  continuously  for  the  period  of  ten  years,  and  can  furnish  satisfactory  evidence 
thereof  to  the  Board  of  Medical  Examiners,  shall  receive  a  license  to  continue  practice. 

The  meetings  of  the  Board  are  held  quarterly,  at  the  city  of  Denver,  the  first  Tuesdays

At  a  meeting  of  the  Colorado  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners,  hold  at  Denver,  on 
July  1, 1890,  the  lollowing  resolutions  were  adopted: 

Whkbeas.  The  Medical  Practice  Act  of  the  State  of  Colorado  provides  that  among  the 
duties  of  the  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners,  they  shall  "adopt  (Sec.  3)  such  rules  as  are 
necessary  for  their  guidance  in  the  performance  of  the  duties  assigned  them."  Under  this 
part  of  the  statute  it  seems  necessary  to  adopt  a  rule  whereby  an  exact  standard  for  the 
certification  of  diplomas  shall  be  definitely  found  by  this  Board;  also  that  a  minimum 
standard  of  studies  be  requirod  of  applicants  who  shall  present  diplomas  to  this  Board;

who  shall  present  their  diplomas  for  certification,  three  years  of  professional  study,  as 
conditions  of  graduation.    That  the  minimum  requirements  shq,ll  be  as  follows : 

By  the  Colorado  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners,  that  after  July  1, 1893,  all  applicants 
for  license  shall  present  evidence  of  having  taken  three  courses  of  lectures  of  not  less 
than  twenty  weeks  each,  in  a  leeally  chartered  and  roputablo  miidiealooiloKO  recognized  as 
such  by  the  Colorado  fState  Board  of  Medical  Examiners.  No  two  of  those  courses  shall  be 
taken  within  the  same  year. 

Resolved,  That  after  July  1, 1893,  onlv  such  schools  shall  be  recognized  as  meeting  the 
requirements  of  this  Board  as  require  a  preliminary  examination  for  admission,  or  a

The  small  nerccntage  of  graduates  in  the  District  of  Columbia  is  due  mainly  to  the  fact 
that  mv-\ny  of  the  matriculates  are  government  clerks  and  do  not  devote  their  whole  time 
to  studv .    They  attend  more  courses  and  some  go  elsewliere  to  graduate.

ILLINOIS  STATE  BOARD  OF  HEALTH. 

SPBiNGriELD,  111.  John  H.  Kauoh,  M.  D.,  Secretary. 


Obganizkd  July,  1877.  Consists  of  seven  members,  appointed  by  the  Governor  of  the 
State,  for  the  term  of  seven  years  each.  Its  relations  with  medical  education  and  medical 
colleges  arise  from  the  duties  devolved  upon  it,  and  the  powers  and  authority  vested  in 
It,  by  the  Act  to  liegulate  the  Practice  of  Modicino  in  the  State  of  Illinois,  approved  June 
16, 1887.  in  torce  July  1, 1887.  Among  such  duties,  powers  and  authority  are  the  examination 
and  verification  of  diplomas  presented  as  the  basis  for  certificates  entitling  their  lawful 
holders  to  practice  medicine  within  tlie  State,  and  the  issue  of  such  certificates;  the  deter- 
mination of  the  standing  of  legally  chartered  medical  institutions;  the  examination  of  non- 
graduates  as  to  their  «iualiflcatlon  as  practitioners,  and  the  issue  of  certificates  or  licenses 
to  practice  to  such  as  pass  satisfactory  examinations;  the  refusal  of  certillcatos  to  individ- 
uals guilty  of  unprofessional  and  dishonorable  conduct,  and  the  revocation  of  certitloates 
for  like  causes.   The  law  applioslalso  to  midwives. 

Since  its  organization,  and  up  to  the  date  of  its  revision,  January  1,  1891,  the  Boabd 
has  examined  and  verified  the  diplomas  and  licenses  of  275  institutions  and  licensing  bodies. 
Of  this  number  it  has  definitely  rejected  the  diplomas  of  28  institutions,  on  ground  of  fraud 
or  other  gross  invalidity;  it  has  required  the  diplomas  of  2()  other  institutions  to  be  sup- 
plemented by  examination;  and  it  has  issued  certificates  based  on  ihe  diplomas  of  legally- 
chartered  medical  institutions  in  good  standing  to  9,212  practitioners,  and  to  2li3  others  on 
diplomas  supplemented  by  examination.  These  last  (the  2(i3)  have  only  been  issued  since 
the  enforcement  of  the  Schedule  of  Minimum  Reauirements;  that  is,  to  graduates  of  the 
Bessions  since  1882-83. 

Of  the  total  number  of  applicants  for  certificates  on  diplomas,  2,283  were  rejected  or 
withdrew  their  applications,  or  were  unal^lo  to  complete  them,  or  in  some  other  manner 
fai'ed  to  comply  with  the  reauirements  of  the  law;  and  these,  as  a  rule,  either  abandoned 

Sractioe  or  left  the  State.    In  a  number  of  cases,  however,  the  rejected  or  defective  oandi- 
ates  subsequently  attended  lectures  ata  reputable  medical  college,  were  graduated  there- 
from, and  certificates  were  issued  them  upon  their  diplomas. 

The  foregoing  figures  and  comments  refer  only  toappUcants  for  certificates  based  upon 
diplomas,  and  do  not  embrace  the  non-graduates  and  exempts.  Including  these  the  law 
has  applied  to  a  total  of  15,283  individuals,  exclusive  of  midwives.  Of  this  number  there  are 
now  in  practice  in  the  8  ate,  in  round  numbers,  about  ti.SOO  phys'cians,  classified  as  follows: 
1.  Graduates  holding  certificates  based  upon  diplomas,  licenses  oi  legally  chartered  medi- 
cal institutions  in  good  standing  as  defined  by  the  Board.  2.  Graduates  since  the  session 
of  1882-83,  whose  diplomas  were  required  to  be  supplemented  by  examination  in  order  to 
conform  to  the  standard  of  Minimum  llequirements  of  the  Boaeu.  3.  Non-graduates  who 
have  passed  the  examination  proscribed  by  the  law.  4.  Non-graduates  by  reason  of  having 
been  engaged  in  practice  in  the  State  upwards  of  23  years  prior  to  ^nly  1, 1890. 

The  number  of  rejected  applicants  shows  a  diminution  of  late  years,  as  the  require- 
ments of  the  law  come  to  be  more  clearly  defined  and  more  generally  understood.  For  the 
entire  period  the  percentage  of  rejections  and  withdrawals  has  been  13.7;  but  during  the 
past  two  years  they  have  averaged  only  8.7per  cent.— in  1884  taore  were  1171n697  applicants, 
in  1886  there  were  114  in  575  applicants.  In  1886  there  wore  74  in  514  aiipiicants.  In  1887  there 
were  69  in  523  applicants.  In  1888  there  wore  50  in  455  applicants.  In  1889  there  were  60  in

CLARK  UNIVERSITY,  MEDICAL  DEPARTMENT. 
WoBCESTEB,  Mass.    G.  Stanlet  Hall,  Ph.  D.,  LL.  D.,  President. 

Chaetebed  1887. 

'I'he  oflBcers  of  instruction  are  four  professors,  three  assistant  professors,  one  adjunct 
professor,  one  instructor,  ten  docents,  two  honorary  fellows,  seventeen  follows  and  four 
assistants. 

None  but  graduate  students  aro  admitted  to  the  course  of  the  University.  At  present 
no  entrance  examinations  aro  required,  but  a  candidate  for  admission  must  show  by  testi- 
monials, diplomas,  personal  interviews,  or  specially  written  specimens  of  worlt  that  he  has 
scholarship  enough  to  work  to  acivantiigo,  and  zeal  and  ability  enough  to  devote  himself  to 
original  research  in  his  chosen  Hold. 

It  is  hiirhly  desirable,  and  will  probably  before  long  be  required,  that  candidates  for  ad- 
mission have  also  a  reading  knowledge  of  French  and  German. 

♦Not  including  one  graduate  who  matriculated. 

IThoso  four  institutions  were  organized  under  the  "Public  statutes,  chapter  115,  relating 
to  associations  for  charitable,  educational  and  other  purposes."  The  act  of  June  30, 1883, 
forbade  such  corporations  conferring  medical  degrees  without  special  authorization  by  the 
legislature.  This  exposure  of  the  character  of  these  so-callod  medical  schools  by  the  Illi- 
nois State  Boaed  op  Health  resulted  intho  above  legislation  and  their  virtual  extinction.

MINNESOTA. 

STATE  MEDIOAL  EXAMINING  BOARD  OF  MINNESOTA. 

Abthur  Sweeney,  M.  D.,  Secretary.    St.  Paul,  Minnesota. 

The  first  report  of  this  Board  Issued  November  20, 1888,  showed  that  there  were  In  Min- 
nesota 1,291  practitioners  of  medicine,  8;!!  being  physicians,  151  homeopaths.  4t  ecleotios 
and  2()3  unclassified  (persons  not  graduates,  but  having  pro  forma  cortillcates  on  account  of 
practice  in  the  state  prior  to  the  passage  of  medical  laws.)  Under  the  act  of  1883,  which 
granted  licenses  on  presentation  of  diplomas  and  which  exacted  examinations  only  from 
non-graduates,  151  licenses  were  Issuoil  during  the  year  from  July  1, 1885  to  July  1, 188G,  and 
278  were  issued  from  July  1, 1886,  to  July  1. 1887,  making  a  total  for  the  two  years  of  429. 
Under  the  law  of  1887,  which  is  now  in  force,  223  candidates  have  applied  for  examination,  of 
whom  138  have  been  licensed  and  85  rejc^ctcd— the  pfcentage  of  rejections  being  38.08.  The 
small  number  of  applications  for  examination  is  due  in  a  large  measure  to  that  provision  of 
the  law  which  requires  that  applicants  who  graduated  later  than  July  1, 18S7,  "  must  pre- 
sent evidence  of  having  attended  three  courses  of  lectures  of  at  least 
six  months  each."  This  has  in  a  groat  degree  liept  from  Minnesota  graduates  of  short- 
term  medical  colleges. 

The  olTlcial  Register  of  Physicians  shows  that  tliere  are  in  Minnesota  1,101  practitioners 
of  medicine,  of  whom  848  are  physicians,  15C  homeopaths,  38  eclectics  and  14!)  unolassillod. 
The  number  o[  "unclassiflod  practitioners  has  diminished  from  351  in  1883  to  203  in  1888, 
and  to  149  in  1890.  This  is  due  to  thi'  f:u3t  that  the  advent  of  a  better  educated  i "  iss  of  prac- 
titioners has  driven  from  the  SI  ,ose  irregulars  whom  the  former  law  permitted  to 
practice  without  regard  to  the          liiilcations. 

During  the  past  three  years  the  Board  has  revoked  three  licenses,  on^  lor  drunkenness 
while  in  attendance  on  a  person  dangerously  ill,  and  two  for  having  presented  forged 
diplomas,  and  fraudulently  obtaining  licenses  to  practice. 

The  Board  holds  meetings  for  examination  of  applicants  at  the  state  capitol  in  St.  Paul 
on  the  llrst  Tuesdays  of  January,  April,  July,  ana  October.  No  diplomas  are  recognized  by 
th(>  Board,  and  all  candidates  must  pass  a  written  examination,  lasting  two  and  one-half 
days,  in  the  following  subjects:  Pracjtice  of  medioin<',  surgery,  obstetrics,  diseases  of 
women  and  ohildrin,  materia  medica  and  therapeutics,  anatomy,  physiology,  chemistry 
and  toxicology,  diseases  of  the  nervous  system,  ophthalmology,  otology,  preventive  medi- 
cine, medical  jurisprudence,  pathology  and  histology.

STATE  BOARD  OF  HEALTH  OF  MISSOURI. 
St.  Louis,  Mo.    Geo.  Homan,  M.  D.,  Secretary. 


Reobqanized  July  2, 1886,  having  been  then  in  existence  two  years.  The  provisions 
of  the  law  creating  the  Board  and  defining  its  duties  and  powers  are,  in  all  material  points, 
the  same  as  those  in  Illinois.  The  standard  of  recognition  of  medical  colleges  as  being  in 
good  standing  is  the  same  as  that  established  by  the  Illinois  Board. 

Since  the  reorganization  no  licenses  have  been  given  to  exempt  non-grac'uatesj  only 
graduates  fulfilling  the  requirements  have  received  certificates,  wltn  the  excepi.lon  of  a  few 
applicants  who  succeeded  in  passlnK  the  examinations.  For  reasons  existing  no  great  de- 
gree of  oncouragemont  has  boon  extended  to  those  seeking  license  in  this  way,  the  course 
advised  being  that  they  should  prepare  themselves  in,  and  be  duly  vouched  for  as  to  fit- 
ness, by  aocredited  meoUoal  schools  before  coming  to  the  Board  for  oflfioial  recognition  and

tion of  oortllloatos  for  like  cause,  was  fully  sustained  and  oondrmed  by  the  Hupn^mo  Court 
of  tho  State  In  a  doclslon  rendered  in  December,  1884.  In  tho  exercise  of  Its  discretion  In 
tho  determination  of  what  shall  be  held  to  constitute  unprnfessional  or  dishonorable  con- 
duct In  physicians,  tho  lioard  is  declared  to  bo  beyond  the  reach  of  mandatory  authority; 
and  the  same  view  is  afllrnied  wUh  regard  to  its  power  to  deal  with  medical  ooUoues,  pro- 
vided no  element  of  discrimination  in  favor  of  or  against  particular  systems  or  sohools, 
lesalizod  by  tho  State,  enters  into  Its  decision. 

Since  the  creation  of  tho  Board  •l,4-)5  certificates  have  been  Issued  to  frraduated  phyal- 
clans;  970  to  exempt  non-graduates;  26  upon  examinations:  and  580  to  mid  wives,  most  of 
whom  were  graduates. 

From  and  after  the  spring  session  of  1890  to  secure  recognition  of  thf  ir  diplomas,  mid- 
wifery schools  must  require  attendance  at  two  terms  of  three  months  each  with  enlarged 
course  of  study. 

**The  Board  has  under  consideration  and  contemplates  the  early  adop- 
tion of  the  requirement  of  three  annual  d^aded  courses  of  lectures  and 
four  years  of  study  by  medical  colleges-" 

During  1890  some  400  physicians  and  20  mldwives  wore  licensed ;  a  considerable  number 
of  applications  were  deoflned  for  the  reasons  authorizing  such  action,  and  the  oortlfloates 
of  two  practitioners  wore  revoked  for  unprofessional  or  dishonorable  conduct.

"Ah  to  the  first  class,  no  examination  as  to  the  attainments  of  the  applicant  in  medical 
knowlfHlse  was  roaulred.  All  olhtu-  classes  and  tho.so  acting  subsonuont  to  tlie  passage  of 
this  act  must  submit  to  examination  as  proscribed  in  section  Four  of  this  act,  to-wit:  Upon

the  Board's  action  in 


BOARD  OF  MEDICAL  EXAMINERS  OF  MONTANA. 

Great  Falls,  Mont.    Ernest  Crutchee,M.  D.,  Secretary. 

The  Board  consists  of  seven  members  appointed  by  the  Governor,  for  seven  years  each. 
It  was  organized  April  2, 1889,  since  which  time— to  Nov.  29, 1890— there  have  been  238  appli- 
cants for  oertlllcates—iiractitionors  and  midwivjs.  Certificates  wore  issued  to  180  prac- 
titioners and  10  2  mid  wives,  temporary  cerlilleates  to  1(>  practitioners,  and  ti  to  licentiates. 
In  ao  cases  certificates  were  refused,  and  4  applications  were  withdrawn.  The  board  has 
revoked  3  certificates. 

Section  4  of  the  Montana  Mtsdical  Act,  requirinj^  not  less  than  three 
courses  of  lectures  of  four  months  each,  prevents  the  Board's  isfsuing  cer> 
tificates  on  diplomas  presented  by  persons  that  have  taken  but  two 
courses  of  lectures.  By  a  recent  resolution  of  the  Board  the  Secretary! was  Instructed 
to  notify  the  medical  colleges  of  this  provision  of  the  law. 

"Montana,"  says  the  Secretary,  "has  been  the  paradise  of  ouacks  and  charlatans,  who 
have  grown  rich  and  powerful  because  of  the  large  fijes  ordinarfly  prevailing  in  this  state. "

Fraudulent.  An  inv(■.^tiKation  of  th  s  institution  was  made  by  Dr.  D.  S.  Adams, 
of  Manchester,  President  of  the  New  Hampshire  State  Board  of  C  ensors,  and  by  the 
Boston  Herald,  which  led  to  the  exposure  of  its  true  cliaracter.  Dr.  Bradbury,  the  secre- 
tory, was  indicted  by  tlic  U.  S.  Grand  Jury,  at  Concord,  and  cm  October  9th,  was  con- 
viotoil  of  using  the  mail  for  fraudulent  purposes.  He  was  sentiuiced  to  pay  u  fine  of 
8250,  and  not  having  any  money  was  sent  to  jail.  He  was  also  interested  in  the  Trinity 
University,  of  Bennington,  Vermont  and  seems  to  have  been  tlie  agent  for  the  sali'  of 
diplomas  of  £.  r.udulent  collesos  located  in  other  states.  Prices  of  diplomas  varied  from 
$60  to  S:i()0.  anl  were  sent  by  exitress  after  nominal  compliance  with  rules  for  graduation. 
In  New  Hampshire  and  Vermont,  ami  until  very  recently  in  Massachusutts,  the  ex- 
istence of  thi.i  kind  of  a  school  was  made  possible  owing  to  the  laxity  of  the  laws  in

L.  D.  Bhoughton,  M.  D.,  President,  New  York  City. 

Chartered  March  7, 1870,  by  special  Act  of  the  Legislature.  Nothing  was  heard  of  this 
school  until  1888. 

The  Institution  was  temporarily  closed  by  injunction  of  the  Hudson  County  Medical 
Society.  The  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners  on  November  11, 181H),  took  action  toward 
securing  the  repeal  of  its  charter  at  the  coming  session  of  the  State  Legislature. 

Diplomas  not  recognized. 

The  following  was  adopted  by  the  District  Medical  Society  for  the  County  of  Hudson, 
N.  J.,  on  December  16,  18!»0: 

Whereas  :  A  certain  medical  Institute,  called  the  "  Medical  and  Surgical  College  of  the 
State  of  New  Jersey,"  chartered  by  special  Act  of  this  State,  approved  March  17, 1870.  was

Whebbab:  It  hns  appeared  to  this  Society,  by  good  and  sufflicient  evidenoe,  that  sev- 
eral members  of  the  faculty,  nearly  all  of  whom  are  non-residents  of  this  State,  are  either 
incompetent  to  deliver  lectures  on  the  topics  asaignod  them,  or  are  (graduates  or  disreput- 
able or  fraudulent  medical  colleges'  that  the  facilities  for  instruction  in  said  alleged  college 
are  totally  inadequate,  and  that  no  clinics,  dlsse  'tlons  or  hospital  practice  hav<*  been  or  can 
be  given?  that  the  provisions  of  the  charter  of  said  college  have  nor,  been  observed  by  the 
authorities  thereof:  that  the  requirements  of  said  charter,  even  if  the  same  were  strictly 
followed,  are  far  below  the  standard  of  minimum  roauiremonts  of  medical  colleges  adopted 
and  demanded  by  all  medical  authorities  at  the  present  time,  and  that,  therefore,  the  pos- 
session of  a  diploma  from  said  alleged  college  is  no  proof  whatever  that  the  holder  thereof 
has  received  a  good  and  sufficient  medical  education,  and 

Wheabeas:  The  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners  of  this  State  will  introduce  a  bill  at 
the  next  meeting  of  the  legidlaturo  for  the  purpose  of  repealing  said  charter:    Be  It 

Resolved,  That  the  District  Medical  Society  for  the  County  of  Hudson  does  hereby 
earnestly  protest  against  the  existence  of  said  alleged  college  as  an  unnecessary,  Inade- 
auate  and  disreputable  institution,  tending  to  degrade  and  lower  the  siandard  of  ine  medi- 
cal profession;  that  the  influence  of  this  Society  and  of  the  individual  members  thereof  be 
given  to  the  support  and  passage  of  the  bill  to  repeal  said  charter,  and  that  a  copy  of  this 
resolution  be  forwarded  to  the  several  medi'  1  societies  of  this  Scate,  with  requests  for 
their  support  and  Influence  for  the  passage  o    aaid  bill.

REGENTS'  REPORT  CONCERNING  THE  ENDORSEMENT  OP  MEDICAL  DIPLOMAS 

AND  LICENSES,  AND  THE  EXAMINATION  OF  MEDICAL  STUDENTS 

FOR   THE   YEAR   ENDING  DECEMBER   1,   1890. 

1.    Endorsement  of  Medical  Diplomas  and  Licenses. 

From  July  1, 1890,  to  Docembor  1, 1890,  thi-ro  have  been  presented  for  endorsement: 
90  diplomas  oonterrinj^  dogreo  of  M.  D. 
4  licensoH  to  practice  medicine. 
Total,  9-1  credentials;  of  which 
53  have  been  endorsed, 
2  have  bean  refused  endorsement, 

7  have  been  returned  without  ondorsemont  on  request  of  applicants, 
32  are  held  for  applicants  to  comply  with  loaal  requirements. 

The  statistics  pive  no  adequate  idea  of  the  work  which  has  been  done  by  the  examina- 
tions department  in  the  endorsement  of  these  diplomas  and  licenses.  It  has  been  neces- 
sary in  the  case  of  each  applicant  for  endorsement,  to  examine  carefully  his  credentials  of 
preliminary  education,  and  the  character  and  standing  of  the  schools  from  which  they  were 
obtained.  We  have  required  each  applicant  to  furnish  testimonials  of  moral  character  from 
physicians  in  good  standing.  All  such  testimonials  presented  have  Ijeen  investigated,  and  i 
wo  have  diligently  endeavored  to  guard  against  the  licensing  of  improper  persons.  Finally, 
the  medical  education  of  each  applicant  has  been  subjected  to  close  scrutiny,  involving 
much  time  and  largo  correspondence. 

The  law  rejiuiring  that  a  record  of  all  endorsements  must  be  kept,  we  have  perfected  a 
system  of  records  \\'horeby  the  history  of  each  endorsement  and  all  correspondence  and 
documents  bearing  upon  the  case,  may  be  obtained  at  the  shortest  possible  notice.  At  the 
same  time  a  glance  at  the  record  book  will  show  the  exact  situation  of  each  applicant  for 
endorsement  and  the  reasons,  if  any,  why  his  credential  has  not  been  endorsed.  The  care 
that  has  been  exercised  in  this  work  has  in  some  eases  resulted  in  refusal  to  endorse. 
There  have  been  various  reasons  for  such  refusals.  Some  applicants  were  unable  to  meet 
the  requirements  of  preliminary  education.  One  instance  of  apparent  attempt  at  fraud  was 
discovered,  the  applicant  claiming  a  medical  education  that  he  probably  had'  not  received. 
The  diplomas  of  some  medical  sctiools  wo  have  ileclined  to  consider.  The  seven  creden- 
tials returned  by  request  were  so  disposed  of  because  applicants  found  difilculty  In  meet- 
ing one  or  more  of  the  requirements  of  the  present  law;  thirty-two  applications  are  now 
being  held  under  consideration  for  the  same  cause.  There  seems  to  be  good  ground  for  the 
statement  that  no  such  careful  sci  utiny  of  foreign  diplomas  and  Ho  nses  has  heretofore  ex- 
isted in  this  state;  and  it  may  be  assumed  that  an  apphcant  whose  credentials  would  have 
been  endorsed  without  (luostion  under  the  old  system  would  find  it  more  diffleult  to  obtain 
such  endorsement  to-day.  Recognizing  the  grave  responsibility  pla'-'od  upon  It  by  this 
law,  the  examinations  department  has  endeavored  so  'o  co-operate  with  the  StJite  Boards  of 
Medical  Examiners  tliiit  the  endorsement  of  the  Regents  of  the  University  placed  upon  a 
credential  should  be  a  guarantee  th  it  its  possessor  is  in  all  respects  a  proper  person  to 
practice  medicine  In  the  state  of  New  York. 

2.    Examinati07i  of  Medical  Students. 

These  examinations  are  condu  -ted  under  the  authority  of  chapter  468,  laws  of  1889  as 
amended  by  chapter  499,  laws  of  18;h).  liis  law  provides  that  before  the  trustees  of  any 
medical  school  or  college  within  this  st..  <  shall  confer  the  degree  of  doctor  of  medicine  on 
any  person,  they  shall  require  such  person  to  tile  with  the  secretary  or  recording  officer  of 
the  college,  a  regents'  medical  student  certificate.  To  obtain  thiS'  certificate  the  student 
must,  1.  Hold  the  degreee  of  A.  B. ;  A.  M.;  B.  S.;  M.  S.;  Ph.  B.,  or  Ph.  D. ;  or,  2.  Passlthe 
required  regents'  examination:  or.  3.  Possess  equivalent  qualifications.  This  law  took 
effect  Juno  13, 1889.    The  following  are  the  statistics  tor  the  years  1889-90: 

Number  of  examinations 14

The  certificates  Issued  to  appUoants  who  presented  "equivalent  qualifications"  makes 
the  total  number  of  certificates  issued  greatly  in  excess  of  the  number  of  candidates  admit- 
ted to  the  examinations. 

The  following  table  shows  the  Increase  in  the  medical  student  examination:

The  investigation  of  the  "oouivalent  qualifications"  claimod  by  candidates  for  medical 
student  cortiflcatos,  requiring  the  exi-rcise  of  care  and  disorotion,  has  materially  added  to 
the  labor.

a  Board  of  Medical  Examiners  was  passed.  No  penalty'orlglnally  attached  to  the  failure  to 
comply  with  the  provisions  of  this  act,  exoopt  inability  to  oolloot  a  medical  bill  by  law.  In

a  maximum  of  one  hundred  dollars,  or  imprisonment  for  each  and  every  offense. 

In  the  year  1888  another  amendment  was  lassed,  requiring  all  physlolans  to  be  regis- 
tered by  the  olerk  of  the  Superior  Court,  and  after  the  first  day  of  January,  1890,  all  per- 
sons who  begin  the  practice  of  medicine  in  North  Carolina,  must  within  30  days  after  obtain- 
ing a  license  from  the  Board  of  Medical  Examiners,  be  registered  by  the  clerk  of  the  Su- 
perior Court. 

Each  applicant  for  licenao  must  give  written  evidence  that  he  is  of  good  moral  character 
and  twenty-one  years  of  age ;  must  submit  to  a  written  examination  in  1)  surgery  and  surg- 
ical pathology  and  diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear;  2)  chemistry  and  pharmacy;  3)  anatomy:  4) 
physiology  and  medical  hygiene;  5)  materia  medioa  and  therapeutics;  ti)  obstetrics  and  dis- 
eases of  women  and  children;  7)  practice  of  medicine  and  medical  pathology.  Applicants 
must  answer  seventy  per  cent,  of  all  the  questions  satisfactorily. 

Temporary  licenses  maybe  issued  in  the  interim  between  the  regalar  annual  meetings, 
bv  any  two  members  of  the  Board,  to  hold  good  only  until  the  next  annual  meeting  there- 
after.   The  fee  for  temporary  license  is  85;  for  permanent  license,  810. 

The  annual  meetings  are  held  at  the  same  time  and  place  as  those  of  the  State  Medical 
Society.  The  last  meeting  was  held  in  May,  1890,  in  Oxford,  North  Carolina.  There  were  72 
applicants  for  licenses;  40  were  licensed,  and  2G  were  refused  license.  The  next 
annual  meeting  wlU  be  held  in  Asheville,  North  Carolina,  May,  1891.  at  which  time  the  new 
Board  elected  in  1890  will  hold  its  first  annual  meeting. 

Below  will  be  found  some  interesting  statements  which  have  been  tabulated  for  easy 
reference,  showing  some  of  the  work  of  the  Board  from  1885  to  1890— both  years  included:

Oband  Fobeb,  N.  Dak.   J.  R.  Logan,  M.  D..  Secretary, 


The  Board  was  organized  July  31, 1890,  at  which  time  the  rules  and  rcKulatlons  of  th& 
State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners  of  Minnesota  were  adopted. 

The  first  moeting  for  the  examination  of  candidates  was  held  on  October  7, 8  and  9. 
One  candidate  was  examined  and  passed.  Two  weeks  later  a  supplementary  examination 
was  held  to  accommodate  two  other  candidates,  who  also  passed. 

There  are  in  North  and  South  Dakota  726  practitioners  exempt  from  examination  by  rea- 
son of  reKistration  under  the  old  Territorial  laws.  The  Secretary  has  in  each  county  in 
North  Dakota  a  correspondent  who  reports  the  location  of  any  new  man.  In  this  way  tare© 
glaring  oases  of  quackery  have  bee  a  brought  to  light,  and  the  offenders  foi-ced  to  leave  the 
State.

ated each  subsequent  year.  In  1858  the  Miami  Medical  Collego  was  merged  into  this  In- 
stitution, and  continued  in  this  relation  until  1865,  when  the  Miami  was  re-established.. 
(See  Miami  Medical  College,  infra.)  In  1887  it  became  the  Medical  Department  of  the 
University  of  Cincinnati. 

The  faculty  consists  of  ten  professors,  ten  assistants,  three  adjunct  professors,  two  lec- 
turers and  four  demonstrators. 

CoUBSE  OF  Instbuotion:  The  collegiate  year  embraces  a  winter  and  a  short  sprins.' 
course.  The  former,  for  the  session  of  1890-91.  began  September  ai,  1890,  and  will  close 
March  1,  1891.  The  spring  course  will  begin  about  the  middle  of  March  and  continue  for 
six  weeks.  Clinics  at  hospital  and  dispensary,  and  private  courses  for  advanced  students

from  this  examination. 

"The  general  demand  for  a  good  preliminary  education  of  those  about  to  enter  our

enactments  of  several  State  boards  of  health.  We  desire  to  call  special  attention  to  th& 
fact  that  in  several  States  the  diplomas  of  such  schools  as  do  not  require  an  examination 
preliminary  to  entrance  are  not  accepted  as  qualifying  for  practice."

AMJSBIOAN  HEALTH  COLLEGE. 

Cincinnati,  0.  ' 

Obganizbd  in  1874-'6.  The  faculty  is  one  person  who  teaches  "the  great  Vitapathio  sys- 
tem, which  he  originated  and  copyrighted."  The  possessor  of  one  of  those  diplomas  was 
arrested  in  Illinois  for  practicing  without  the  certliloate  prescribed  by  law— the  State 
Bcvsi*  OF  Health  having  refused  to  issue  such  certificate  on  the  diploma.  On  trial  the 
manwasfoundguilty  and  left  the  State.  Ten  so-called  doctors  are  practicing  in  New 
Jersey  with  no  other  credentials  than  the  diplomas  of  this  concern.  This  is  also  the  case 
In  other  states  wliere  diplomas  of  legally  chartered  Institutions  are  the  only  qualiflcatioQ 
necessary  to  practice  medicine.  In  short,  laws  of  this  character  stimulate  the  sale  of  di- 
plomas and  are  incentives  to  the  organization  of  bogus  medical  colleges. 

The  following  is  taken  from  the  Cincinnati  Fast,  Nov.  24, 1890: 

"A  meetingthat  leaves  spiritualistic  seances  far  in  the  gloom,  took  place  recently,  at 
the  American  Health  College,  North  Fairmount.  It  was  the  religious  ceremony  following 
the  close  of  the  fall  term  of  the  Health  College.  The  auditorium  was  filled  with  enthusiastic 
men  and  women.  After  music  and  song.  Dr.  Campbell  explained  the  all-pervading  great 
spirit,  as  taught  in  the  vitapathio  system,  and  especially  the  silent  breathing  prayer.  All 
present  there,  stood  up  and  breathed  the  prayer,  taking  in  great  ciuantities  of  the  ever 
present  Vita.  The  professor  next  explained  the  milk  sacrament,  which  was  used  instead  of 
wine.  This  was  for  the  new  graduates  only.  The  ceremony  grew  more  select  all  the 
while,  and  the  last  degree  was  the  Holy  Ghost  baptism,  a  ministerial  ordination  for  the  se- 
lect few.  Some  20  old  graduates  formed  a  mystic  ring  around  the  now  candidate,  and  the 
grofessor  placed  his  hands  upon  his  head  and  pronounced  the  magic  words  that  made  the 
rother  a  minister  of  life  in  vitapathy  'by  authority  of  law  and  religion,  according  to  char- 
tered rights  of  the  vitapathio  system."  It  is  solemnly  asserted  that  'during  the  whole 
meeting  a  wonderful  power  was  felt  by  all,  and  throngs  of  angels  were  seen  by  clair- 
voyant eyes.'  Then,  amid  intense  good  fooling,  some  presents  wore  given  Dr.  Campbell, 
and  they  all  felt  that  the  millonium  was  just  due.  But  the  great  outside  world  is  still  in  the 
darkness  of  the  nineteenth  century. 

"The  class  that  graduated  from  the  college  this  fall  was  composed  of  the  following 
persons: 

"T.  J.  Dunbar,  Ironton,  O.;  J.  W.  DeHoog.  Covington,  Ky.;  Miss  Emma  Hicks,  Monti- 
cello,  Ky.;  Miss  Lucy  Hawkins.  St.  Louis,  Mo.;  Mrs.  Ellen  H.  Hatch,  Elkhart,  Ind. ;  Mrs.  J, 
Cummings,  of  Georgia;  G.  O.  Perry  dnd  C.  B.  Burnish,  of  Pennsylvania;  Jos.  Lee,  of  Ne- 
braska; J.  H.  Thurman,  Texas. 

"All  are  now  practicing  physicians  in  the  vitapathio  system. 

"There  are  several  of  former  classes  practicing  in  this  city— Goo.  B.  Kolb,  on  Ninth  st. ; 
James  Layman  and  wife,  on  Pearl  street,  A.  Grandjian  and  wife  at  203  Western  av. ;  Mrs. 
Mary  Kinehart,  45  Wesley  av.;  Henry  C.  Wendell,  131  Brown  St.,  and  Minnie  E.  Jennings, 
527  W.  Sixth  St."

the  state  for  terms  of  throe  years  each. 

The  duties  of  the  Board  and  the  power  and  authority  vested  in  it  by  the  legislature,  as 
declared  In  the  "Act  to  regulate  the  practice  of  medicine  and  surgery  in  the  State  of  Ore- 
gon," are  the  following: 

1st.  To  examine  and  verify  the  diplomas  of  applicants  for  license  to  practice  medicine

Issue  license  to  such  as  pass  a  satisfactory  examination.

From  the  28th  of  May,  188iMdate  of  organization),  to  November  11,  1890,  the  Board  ex- 
amined and  verified  the  diplomas  of  213  persons— graduates  of  legally  chartered  medical 
schools,  in  good  standing— and  issued  lieon.Hos  thereon;  also  the  diplomas  of  1 1  persons- 
graduates  of  medical  schools  which  graduate  more  than  forty  per  cent,  of  their  students; 
and  these  persons,  having  supplemonted  their  diplomas  by  a  satisfactory  examination  be- 
fore the  Board,  wore  granted  licinses.  The  Board  exam  ned  21  non-graduates,  granting 
license  to  (i  whoso  examination  was  satisfactory,  and  rejected  15  who  failed  to  answer  sev- 
enty-five per  cent,  of  the  questions  asked;  refused  license  to  an  applicant  who  presented 
two  diplomas,  one  purporting  ti)  have  been  issu(Hl  by  "The  College  of  Physicians  of  Ten- 
nessee," and  the  other  by  the  "Academy  of  Medicine,"  of  old  Mexico,  both  being  fraudulent. 
The  Board  has  a  number  of  applications  pending  before  it.

This  Board,  at  their  meeting  on  the  15th  of  July,  1889,  adopted  the  following  rules, 
fining  what,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Board,  constitutes  unprofessional  conduct:

ered to  be  incurable. 

2d.  Claiming  to  possess  unusual  skill,  experience  or  facilities  in  the  treatment  of  dis- 
ease, setting  forth  this  claim  by  means  of  advertising  in  the  public  press,  or  by  circulating 
hand  bills,  phamphlets  or  cards  inviting  the  attention  of  persons  affected  with  certain  mala- 
dies, and  promismg  them  radical  cures. 

3d.  Publishing  cases,  operations,  cures  or  remedies  in  the  public  prints,  or  adducing 
eertillcates  of  skill,  success,  or  performing  any  other  similar  acts.

tient seriously  ill. 

5th.  Committing  or  attempting  to  commit  a  criminal  abortion,  or  aiding  and  abetting 
the  same. 

6th.  Practioingunder  an  assumt^d  name,  personating  another  of  like  name  or  of  dif- 
ferent name,  buying  or  selling  or  fraudulently  obtaining  a  degree,  diploma,  cortiflcate  or 
license. 

7th.  Unwarrantable  violation  of  p'rotessional  secrets  which  are  ordinarily  held  to  be 
inviolable. 

At  their  meeting,  on  the  12th  of  August,  1889,  the  Board  adopted  the  following  reso- 
lution: 

Resolved,  That  this  board  will  not  recognize  as  in  good  standing,  any  medical  college 
which  has  graduated  or  is  now  graduating  an  average  oi  forty  (10)  per  cent,  of  its  students

TENNESSEE. 

BOARD  OF  MEDICAL  EXAMINERS,  STATE  OF  TENNESSEE. 

Tbenton,  Tenn.    T.  J.  Happel,  M.  D.,  Secretary. 

This  Board  held  its  first  meeting  for  examination  at  Nashville,  February  18-19,  1889. 
There  were  eleven  candidates,  of  whom  three  failed  to  pass. 

According  to  the  report  of  the  Secretary  made  in  April,  1890,  there  are  in  the  whole 
State  3,261  practitioners  holding  certiflcatos,  of  whom  1,658  are  graduates.  Of  the  gradu- 
ates, 1,578  are  physicians,  19  homeopaths  and  61  eclectics.  The  Secretary  says  that  there 
are  many  unregistered  practitioners  in  the  State,  some  having  purposely  failed  to  register 
and  suggests  that  violation  of  the  law  be  made  a  misdemeanor  in  addition  to  all  other 
penalties.  The  Medical  Practice  Act  (see  this  Report  1890)  is  considered  imperfect  in  sev- 
eral respects,  ftnda"umber  of  amendments  are  suggested  as  follows: 


■»  .  # 


,^-.7  "      -•■       ■  ■'  145  '■   I     '.-  -'^  ■''■(';';•■  ■-■.y,?-^'^^;'. 

"In  tho  regular  ranks  much  opposition  has  been  ongf  nrlered  to  tho  bill  by  the  use  of 
the  terms  'allopath'  and  'allopathic'  Hence,  I  would  HUggost  the  propriety  of  amending 
the  act  by  Rtrifcing  out  the  words  'allopath'  and  'allopathic,'  wherever  they  may  occur, 
and  Inserting  tho  word  'regular.'  Sec.  I  of  the  act  mi^ht  be  further  amended  with  advant- 
age bv  adding  another  clause  at  the  end  of  s.dd  section  as  lollowa:  'Provided  that  after 
Jan.  lat,  1892,  no  certifloHte  Hhall  be  issued  to  any  one  wiihout  an  examination  by  the  Board  •• 
as  to  his  flinoss  to  practice  medicine  and  its  kindred  branches,  surgery  and  obstetrics,  In 
the  State'." 

Amend  Sec.  Ill  by  striking  out  after  the  expression  "in  good  standing"  tho  clause 
commencing  with  "and"  and  ending  with  "Association."  The  object  of  this  amendment  is 
to  leave  the  matter  of  colleges  whose  diplomas  are  to  be  recognized  to  be  determined  by 
the  Board,  surrounded  by  umlta^ions  as  to  the  diflfercnt  "isms"  as  provided  by.the  rest  of 
the  act,  so  as  to  conform  to  Section  I.  , 

At  the  end  of  Sec.  Ill  add  as  follows:  "Provided,  that  from  and  after  J  m.  1st,  1892,  all 
paites  sha'' be  require.  I  to  undergo  a  satisfactory  examination  in  the  presence  of  the 
whole  Board  as  to  their  lltness  to  practice  medicine." 

Sec.  IV  should  be  amended  so  us  to  change  tho  expression  "three  months"  into  "six 
months,"  so  as  o  make  See.  IV  conform  to  Sec.  V  as  to  the  length  of  time  a  rejected  ap- 
pUcant  must  wait  before  he  can  at  ply  for  re-examination. 

Sec  XII  should  be  amedded  so  as  to  fix  the  price  of  a  certificate  issued  by  the  Board  at 
five  dollars  instead  of  one  dollar— to  attain  that  end  strike  out  the  expression  "one  dollar" 
where  it  ilrstappears  in  said  section  and  insert  "five  dollars." 

Add  also  at  the  end  of  Sec.  XII  as  follows:  "In  addition  to  all  other  fees,  a  fee  of  25 
cents  shall  be  paid  by  the  applicant  for  regisiration,  to  th  •  secretary  of  the  Board,  for  issu- 
ing and  reeordmg  any  ceitillcate.  Also  amend  by  allowing  per  diem  to  members  of  the 
Board  for  the  whole  time  of  necessary  absence  from  homo  in  attendance  on  the  meetings- 
counting  the  time  of  tho  shortest  route  going  and  coming. 

Sections  XIII  and  XIV  should  both  be  amended  so  as  to  make  any  violation  of  either 
or  both  a  niisdemeauor  punishable  by  fine  Ic  -  the  first  offense  and  by  lino  or  imprisonment 
or  bithfor  siibse(iuetit  offenses;  the  imprisonment  to  be  at  the  discretion  of  the  court,  and 
to  be  in  the  county  jail  not  less  than  one  nor  more  than  ten  months.  The  fine  in  every 
case,  if  collected  in  money,  should  be  paid  over  to  tho  Board  of  Medical  Examiners  to  be 
used  by  them,  as  are  ail  other  funds  coming  into  their  hands. 

This  would  (if  the  amendments  are  adopted)  eliminate  the  matter  of  "action  of  debt" 
from  tlie  act  and  enable  the  Board  to  force  a  compliance  with  its  provisions.  The  remain- 
iuR  portion  of  the  section  should  not  be  changed. 

Sec.  XVI  should  he  amended  by  inserting  after  the  words  "by  them"  the  following 
elausii  "or  by  the  county  coiu-t  clerk  of  any  county  in  tlu!  State  of  T«!nnessee,"  to  carry  out 
an  idi^a  alrea  ly  advanced.  Then  there  should  lie  added  after  section  17  a  ninv  section  IT'-j 
as  follows : 

Sec.  1734.  Bo  it  further  enacted,  that  inauisitorial  powers  are  hereby  given  to  grand 
juries,  and  it  is  made  their  duty  to  inquire  into  all  violations  of  this  act  and  to  make  pre- 
sentmiaits  for  the  same.

TRINITY  UNIVERSITY.  COLLEGE  OE  MEDICINE  ANB  SURGERY  OF  TFE  STATE 

OF  VERMONT. 

Bennington,  Vt.   P.  Riplet  Bbadbuby,  I^an,  71  Comhill,  Boston,  Mass. 

iNcorPOBATED  1889.  Fraudulent.  An  application  was  made  by  a  Buffalo  practitioner 
for  membership  in  a  local  association  of  physicians  in  that  city  by  presenting  a  diploma 
bearing  the  seal  of  this  university.  Suspicion  was  aroused,  and  it  was  soon  learned  that 
the  institution  was  nothing  more  than  a  "mill,"  which  ground  out  degrees  to  order;*  and 
that  there  were  also  departments  of  dental  surgery,  law  and  the  liberal  arts  provided  for 
by  this  so-called  university. 

A  hardware  dealer  in  Buffalo,  who  had  never  spent  an  hour  in  the  study  of  medicine, 
obtained  a  diploma  dated  May  27, 1889,  from  this  "College  of  Medicine  and  Surgery,"  receiv- 
Ingthe  same  by  express,  paying  sixty  dollars  on  delivery.  The  diploma  was  signed  by  P. 
R.  Bradbury  as  dean,  and  G.  Wilmont  Averoll.  LL.  D.,  as  president,  and  sent  by  Dr.  Brad- 
bury from  Nashua,  N.  H.  The  names  of  some  of  the  incorporators  of  this  university  appear 
as  Incorporators  of  the  University  of  Now  Hampshire  at  Nashua,  which  see. 


VERMONT  MEDICAL  COLLEGE,  OR  THE  SECOND  MEDICAL  COLLEGE  OF  THE 
AMERICAN  HEALTH  SOCIETY,  FOR  SCIENTIFIC  AND 
BENEVOLENT  PURPOSES. 

Rutland,  Vt.    GeoeoeDutton,M.D.,  Dean,  23  Berkeley  street,  Boston,  Mass.  t 

INCOEPOBATED  1883. 

Faculty  consist  of  two  instructors.  Its  articles  declare  that  the  association  is  for  the 
dissemination  of  sanitary  and  moriieal  Knowledge  and  preparation  of  both  sexes  for  teach- 
ing and  practicing  the  art  of  healing  and  preservation  of  health.  Dr.  Dutton  attaches 
great  importance  to  tlio  study  of  hygiene,  and  claims  that  if  people  would  live  up  to  his 
teachings  no  one  would  bo  sick.  Instruction  of  all  pupils  is  given  at  Boston.  In  the  spring 
of  1889,  the  class,  mostly  women  who  live  in  and  around  Boston,  went  to  Rutland,  where 
graduating  exercises  were  held  and  diplomas  granted,  and,  after  remaining  there  a  day, 
turned  to  Boston.t 

It  is  undo'  stood  that  forty-two  diplomas  have  been  granted  to  those  now  practicing  in 
various  sections  of  the  country.  Some  of  the  diplomas  have  been  prosanted  to  the  Board 
of  Censors  of  the  State  Medical  Society  of  Vermont,  in  order  to  obtain  oertirtcatos  to  prac- 
tice raedioino  in  that  State,  as  required  by  law.  Application  for  certificates  was  denied  and 
suit  brouglit  to  compel  recognition  of  the  school.  Judge  Powers,  of  Vermont,  decided  that 
this  college  had  no  authority  to  grant  diplomas,  entitling  the  holders  i  hereof  to  practice 
medicine.  An  sippeal  was  taken  to  the  Supreme  Court,  in  the  case  of  the  sister  of  the  Dean, 
and  decision  of  lower  court  affirmed. 

♦Boston  Herald.  September  29, 1889. 

tlncorporator  also  of  the  First  Medical  College  of  the  Amerian  Health  Society,  Boston, 
Mass. 

JWhv  were  not  the  graduating  exercises  of  this  class  held  in  Boston,  and  diplomas  of 
tke  First  Medical  College  of  the  America  n  Health  Society,  Boston,  conferred  In  that  city? 
It  is  certainly  an  anomaly  to  conduct  a  school  in  one  city  and  State  and  to  have  the  gradu- 
ting  exercises  and  confer  the  degrees  in  another  State.

on  New  England  and  Canadian  papers,  but  among  those  who  know  him  his  name  will  not 
add  to  the  pubhc  confidence  in  the  Union  Medical  Institute."  As  to  8.  A.  Blodgett,  M.  D., 
Demonstrator  of  Anatomy  "and  Register,"  the  Herald  s&ys: 

"The  most  convincing  evidence  of  fraud  is  in^heuame  of  8eth  A,  Blodgett,  M.  D.,  who  is 
a  telegraph  operator  at  Woodsville.    That  he  is  in  no  manner  entitled  to  this  degree  iind  a 

graduate  of  no  medical  college  every  one  in  this  vicinity  admits,  Why  and  for  what  reasi^n 
is  name  should  appear  under  such  a  ti  !e,  and  as  'demonstrator'  of  so  important  a  branch 
in  medicine  as  anatomy,  no  one  can  tell.  In  the  position  he  occupl  s— that  of  a  telegraph 
operator— he  is  reliable,  honest  and  of  eo«.d  reputation.  Why  should  his  name  appear  In 
the  catalogue ?  He  studied  medicine  under  Dr.  G.  B.  Hatch  less  than  ayenr.  His  funds 
having  given  out  he  was  obliged  to  return  to  telegraphing." 

Of  the  foregoing  A.  C.  Fowler,  W.  8.  CoWrin  and  G.B.  Hatch  figure  in  the  "Board  of 
Trustees."  Horace  W,  Bailey,  president  of  the  board,  is  a  grocer,  the  town  clerk  and  a 
newspaper  correspondent  of  Newbury. t  'Phe  oihor  truttees  were  Timothy  Welch, a  farmer 
at  Groton:  E.  P.  Cole,  who  has  not  yet  been  located ;  J.  F.  Hatch,  Eso.,  a  brother  of  George 
B.  Hatch;  P.  A.  Merrillt,  Es(i  a  grocer  of  Newburyport,  Mass.:  W.R  Johnson,!  another 
grocer  of  Newburvrort.  H.  D.  Follansbee,+  the  chieiclerk  of  P.  A.  Merrill,  and  AL  E.  Hatch, 
the  wife  of  G.  B.  Hatch, 

The  plan  of  the  institution  was  unfolded  to  H.  W.  Bailey  in  1883  by  G.  B.  Hatch,  who 
said  that  the  Montebello  Sulphur  Springs  property  could  be  bough*  at  a  reasonable  price, 
that  it  would  make  "a  most  excellent  place  in  which  to  start  a  medical  college,"  and  that  a 
gentleman  in  the  south  was  interested  in  the  matter  and  would  buy  the  property  if  a  cor- 
poration was  chartered  under  the  laws  of  the  State,"  Bailey  placed  his  name  upon  the 
petition  for  a  charter,  which  contained  the  signatures  of  Timothy  Welch,  8.  L.  Eastmaui  H. 
W.  Bailey,  E.  P.  Cole.  J.  F.  Hatch,  W.  S.  Cowan,  P.  A.  Merrill,  W.  B.  -lohnson,  G.  B.  Hatch, 
M.  E.  Hatch,  H.  D.  Follansbee.  The  instrument  is  dated  at  the  tor  "Newbury,  Vt„  June  25, 
1883," and  below  is  the  record:  "State  of  Vermont,  Town  Clerks  Oiflce.  Newbury.  Re- 
O'dved  for  record  December  31,  A.  D.  1887,  at  3  o'clock  P.  M.,  and  recorded.  [Attest]  Horace

failed  in  the  Senate.

"The  eatalogue  bears  the  imprint,  'Warren  Summit  Job  Print,  Warren  Summit.  N.  H.' 
Although  there  were  three  well  equipped  newspaper  oflBees  within  a  radius  of  eight  miles, 
the  place  evid'^ntly  considered  most  appropriate  for  issuing  a  catalogue  of  this  nature  was 
found  nearly  20  miles  distant,  at  Warren  Summit,  N.  H.,  a  station  on  the  Concord  &  Mon- 
treal railroad,  of  no  importance  except  in  the  winter,  when  lumbering  is  carried  on,  and 
containing  but  half  a  dozen  stragling  houses.  Here  an  honest  boy  amateur  printer 
son  of  the  station  agont,  who  is  also  postmaster  and  merchant,  had  a  press,  and  was 
following  In  the  steps  of  the  great  Franklin  in  this  secluded  spot  at  the  base  of  Mt.  Moosi- 
lauke,  Circulars  and  catalogues  of  this  nature  could  be  issued  here  without  the  probability 
of  their  authorship  being  discovered."    (Boston  Herald.) 

The  catalogue  was  sent  out  secretly,  and  very  few  of  the  residents  of  Newbury  had 
ever  heart  of  tne  institution  until  it  was  exposed,  nor  had  the  neighboring  practitioners 
heard  of  it. 


The  surreptitious  manner  in  which  the 
strong  evidence  of  fraud.  A  trustee  admits 
about  Newbury,  but  west  and  at  a  distance, 
gether  and  then  open  a  college  building.  H 
new  enterprises,  but  here  is  one  where  fev 
and  to  many  this  exposure  will  be  a  remind 
culation  which  has  characterized  the  whole 


circulars  and  catalogues  were  distributed  is 
that  it  was  not  the  intention  to  circulate  them 
with  the  intention  of  bringing  a  large  class  to- 
ome  patronage  is  usually  catered  to  in  most  all 
of  the  town  residents  oven  knew  of  the  affair, 
■r  of  the  adroitness,  scheming  and  shrewd  oal- 
affalr. 


A  postmaster  of  a  neighboring  town  when  interrogated  as  to  whether  mail  matter  was 
sent  by  Dr.  O.  B.  Hatch,  remarked:  "There  was  some;  might  have  been  25  letters  in  all; 
might  nave  been  more  than  that  or  loss  than  that." 

"As  soon  as  the  catalogues  (300  in  number)  were  issued,  about  a  dozen  were  sent  to  Dr. 
Hiram  A.  Cutting,  professor  of  microscopical  chemistry,  who  is  known  to  have  circulated  a 

gortion  of  thom.    It  would  be  no  difficult  matter  to  prove  that  several  catalogues  have 
een  sent  through  the  mails. 

"It  ia  the  general  opinion  that  diplomas  are  being  sold  in  the  West,  and  one  prominent 
business  man  made  the  statement:  'It  is  susceptible  of  proof  that  two  diplomas  nave  been 
sold  for  $50  apiece.'  This  rumor  came  from  a  direct  source  and  can  be  verified  in  every 
par . ioular."— (Boston  Herald.)* 

The  correspondent  of  the  Manchester  Union  was  informed  "by  a  reputable  citizen  of 
Haverhill,  N.  H.j  that  he  had  seen  one  of  the  printed  diploma  blanks,  notwithstanding 
the  report  that  there  were  none  in  existence." 

C.  E.  Caswell,  the  boy  printer  at  Warren  Summit,  said  that  the  catalogue  was  printed 
In  the  spring  of  I88i).  and  was  delivered  June  1.  He  thought  it  was  all  right,  but  he  'was  not 
acquainted  with  the  parlies.  "Hatch  had  been  corresponding  with  mo  for  six  months.  He 
first  asked  the  price  tor  printing  lOOtt  catalogues,  and.  after  much  talk,  agreed  on  300,  for 
which  he  was  to  pay  87."  Caswell's  word  is  substantiated  by  his  parents.  Casweil  said, 
when  asked  what  Hatch  said:  "He  told  me  I  had  better  not  say  anything,  but  keep  it 
quiet." 

The  catalogue  says :  "Newbury  Private  Hospital  will  bo  open  to  the  students  of  this 
college."  There  is  nor  and  never  was  such  a  hospital  of  any  doscriiition.  It  also  states 
that  al!  the  examinations  fur  the  graduation  arc  held  in  the  college  building,  arc  conducted 
in  writing  and  take  place  at  commencement.  The  people  of  Newbury  know  of  no  such 
place  as  the  oollej-e  ouilding. 

Attention  wd  first  called  to  this  bogus  concern  by  thelLMNOis  State  Boabd  of

class  in  18<)2. 


There  was  no  graduatlnfir 


The  faculty  consists  of  three  professors,  one  adjunct  professor,  a  demonstrator  of  an- 
atomy, an  assistant  demonstrator  and  two  Instructors. 

CouTiSB  OF  Instbuction:  One  annual  Kraduatinp  session  of  nine  months' duration. 
The  ses  ion  of  18i)0-91  bopan  October  1,  1890.  and  will  cloae  July  2,  1891.  Dally  examinations 
on  the  subjects  of  preoeding  lectures.    Course  is  graded,  oxtondlng  over  two  years. 

Lectures  embrace  anatomy,  physiology,  chemistry,  materia  modica,  theory  and  prac- 
tice of  medicine,  obstetrics,  medical  jurisprudence,  surgery  and  pharmacy,  microscopy, 
biology,  physics,  comparative  anatomy  and  clinics. 

"The  arrangement  of  the  leotur<i3  is  such  that  the  student  acquires  a  competent 
knowledge  of  aniitomy,  phyHlology  and  chemistry  before  ho  enters  upon  the  study  of  the 
principles  and  practice  of  medicine  and  surgery. 

Rkquibkments:  For  admission  the  faculty  is  romiired  by  law  to  be  satisfied  by  actual 
examination  or  by  certificate,  that  applicants. are  suraclently  proficient  to  avail  themselves 
of  tne  advantages  aftordod  by  the  University. 

For  graduation :  "Graduation  in  medicine,  as  in  the  other  departments  and  schools 
the  University  of  Virginia,  does  not  depend  upon  the  time  which  has  been  spent  In  the 
study  of  medicine,  bm  upon  the  preparation  of  the  student,  as  indicated  by  rigid  examin- 
ations, which  he  is  called  upon  to  stanl.  Hence  It  Is  possible  for  a  diligent  student  to 
gra(iuato  in  onie  Hussion.  But  the  severe  and  protracted  labor  necessary  for  this  purpose 
18  attended  with  ovlls  of  which  the  medical  facult  Is  fullv  conscious,  and  it  is  considered 
far  bettor  for  a  student  to  attend  le  -tures  tor  two  sessions,  givin :  his  attention  during  the 
first  session  to  tho  subjects  of  chemistry,  anatomy  and  physiology  especially,  and  endeav- 
oring to  obtain  only  such  a  general  knowledge  of  the  other  branches,  as  will  bettor  enable 
him  to  complete  the  course  and  to  profit  by  the  Instruction  of  tho  second  year."

Tii^ 


The  State  Board  of  Health  of  West  Virginia,  was  organized  June  21, 1881,  In  accordanoe 
with  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  passed  March  8, 1880.  As  the  Board,  in  addition  to  looking 
after  the  public  health,  wa3  also  Intrusted  with  the  regulation  of  tho  practice  of  medlolne, 
one  of  its  llrst  duties  vyas  to  rpo  that  cert  illcates  were  issuod  to  all  persons  ontitlod  to  re- 
ceive tliom.  Tho  la\v  roco(,'nizod  three  classes  of  practitioners  of  modiclno.  llrst  tho  gradu- 
ates of  I  oputablo  medical  colleges,  who  were  granted  cortiilcdtes  upon  the  proscntation 
of  their  diplomas;  second,  ull  porsons  who  hud  boon  engaged  in  tho  continuous  praetioo  of 
medicino,  in  tho  State,  ton  years  prior  to  March,  1881,  wore  givon  nortiiloates,  upon  tho  pro- 
per evidence;  third,  those  who  should  pass  a  succossful  oxaminailon  before  tho  State 
Board  of  Health  in  session,  or  tho  two  members  of  any  eoiigrossionul  district. 

"As  fully  one-fourth  of  the  nhysicians  of  tho  State  were  nnt  graduates,  the  number  of 
examinations  in  the  ilrst  year  or  two  was  very  largo,  requiring  of  the  membeis  of  the 
Board  a  liberal  allowance  of  time  and  labor.  In  these  examinations,  wo  have  tried  to 
gradually  raise  tho  standnrd.  Wo  now  rofpiire  tho  vame  i)rollcioncy  and  a  higher  percent- 
afifo  than  is  reauired  by  tho  best  coliegos.  In  carrying  the  law  into  oiTect,  tho  Board  met 
wi'h  considerable  resistance  In  some  instances,  in  others  attempts  wore  made  to  obtain 
oertiflcate.4  by  fraud.  In  one  notable  cnise,  where  a  cortillcato  was  gotten  by  fraud,  the 
Board  chucelled  the  eortlflcato  and  notilled  the  proper  authorities  not  to  allow  the  party  to 
piaotico  medicine  in  thoeounty  of  his  residence:  ihis,  of  course,  t  ok  us  into  tho  courts, 
the  case  passing  through  our  oireuit  court,  our  State  couit  of  appeals  imd  lln  lly  through  . 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,  eacn  court  m  urn  sustaining  tho  position  of  the 
State  Board  of  Health,  and  tho  constitutionality  of  our  State  law  regulating  the  practice  of 
medicine.  (The  decisiori  of  the  Supreme  .  ourtwill  appear  In  full  m  tho  next  volume  of 
Transactions  of  the  Board.) 

"The  legislature  of  1888,  at  tho  instance  of  the  Board  of  Health,  repealed  the  lawre- 
Quiriug  tho  JJoard  to  give  certilleates  to  persons  who  had  been  practicing  ten  years  prior 
to  1881,  thereby  saving  tho  Board  a  groat  (leaU)f  annoyance,  and  cutting  off  all  those  who 
had  not  up  to  the  time,  takeu  advantage  of  tho  Act. 

"The  number  of  ccrtiUcates  issued  to  graduht  s  is  l,Ofifl;  to  porsons  who  had  practiced 
ten  years  prior  to  1881,  known  as  ton-yeur-olds,  11)1;  and  to  those  examined  by  the  Board, 
169.  Of  the  latter  all  except  ;i2  were  examined  and  passed  prior  to  I8«4.  Each  yiiar  since 
188-1  the  number  passed  by  tho  Board  has  grown  loss.  The  Seerotarv  records  only  those 
who  were  successful  m  their  examinations.  Most  of  these  examinations  are  made  by  the 
members  of  the  Board  in  the  dilleri-nt  congressional  districts,  and  the  Secretary  acaulres 
a  knowledge  of  them  by  being  called  upon  to  ro  ord  tho  cei  tillcates." 

After  July,  1891,  this  Board  will  require  four  years'  study  and  three 
courses  of  lectures  for  license.

"Tho  attention  of  the  Board  hns  boon  dlroctod  to  tho  formation  of  ofHolont  looal  boardH 
of  health  throughout  tliH  HtiitK.  Thin  haw  proved  to  bo  n  much  more  <lltfl('ult  tank  than 
wouM  at  Ih-Mi  abpoar.  but  through  tho  porslstent  efforts  of  ttio  JJoard.thero  is  an  aollvo  and 
offlolent  local  Board  of  i(ualth  In  oaoh  county,  worklne  in  hoarty  wword  with  the  Htate 
Board  of  Health.  Tho  Board  ondoavorn  to  work  throusrn  our  local  Boards  of  Health,  jflvlna 
thorn  ovory  asBlHlanco  and  onoouratfomont  In  our  power.  When  thr-  neonsMfty  for  local 
quarantine  arlHOp,  wn  InslHl  ution  ttio  local  boards'  aotinx  iiromptly,  Klvlng  Ihom  tho  moral 
Bupport  of  all  tho  powe  voatod  in  tho  btate  Board  by  th(<  law.  In  this  way  we  may  not 
flgtiro  iiuite  so  prominently,  but  we  And  this  method  for  the  boat  Interests  of  i,he  people. 
Wo  have  our  vluettos  always  on  the  Krouud,  no  matter  in  what  quarter  tho  enemy  may 
strike,  wo  aro  ready  to  meet  the  attack. 

"We  keep  constantly  on  hand  circulars  on  the  prevention  of  typhoid  fever,  moas'es, 
Bcarlot  fovor.  diptlioria,  etc.,  wnicli  are  supplied  to  local  health  offlcers.  and  by  them  dls- 
tribu  od  to  tho  ponplo,  durinK  tho  provalanco  of  any  of  tho  ab'>vo  discas  'h;  in  this  way  we 
are  sure  of  a  hearing,  as  pursons  with  thoir  fears  aroused  will  road  our  circulars  who  at 
any  other  time  would  cast  them  aside. 

"It  has  been  our  unpleasant  duty  on  'several  occasions  to  hovo  to  discipline  colleges  for 
violation  of  thoir  published  schedule  of  requirements  for  graduation,  In  the  eases  of  West 
Virginia  students.  The  llrst  case  was  that  of  an  Ohio  medical  ooII»'bo,  in  which  we  were 
sustained  not  only  bv  the  profossion  of  our  owu  state,  but  by  other  state  boards  of  health, 
medical  oollenos,  and  tho  profession  Konerally.  In  subsequent  cases  wo  havo  had  but  very 
little  trouble,  aa  oolloKes  that  h  vo  placed  thomHoives  under  tho  l)an  aro  only  too  glad  to 
have  the  matter  rectiUed,  and  aro  willing  to  do  almost  anything  wh(m  caught.  As  the  guar- 
dians of  tho  public  health,  we  are  frequently  called  upon  to  investigate  the  cause  of  epi- 
demics in  different  parts  of  tho  state. 

"Wo  aro  at  this  time  making  a  special  effort  to  prevent  the  pollution  of  our  running 
streams  by  sewage,  etc.,  and  at  tho  same  time  to  call  to  the  attention  of  the  public  tho  great 
danger  necessarily  connected  with  such  pollution.  Tho  noopiu  once  aroused,  i he  applica- 
tion of  the  r'3m"t!y  will  be  easy.  A  case  in  point  is  that  of  our  Asylum  for  tho  Insano,  from 
whi'h  300,000  gallons  of  siwage  are  dally  thrown  Into  the  West  Fork  Kiver,  which  stream, 
tw  jnty  miles  below,  becomes  he  source  of  water  supply  for  tho  flourishing  town  of  Clarks- 
bur  g.  Our  lnvestiK.'!tion  and  report  to  tho  legislature  satisfled  thorn  that  there  was  danger 
to  tne  public  health  in  the  present  arrangement  for  the  disposal  of  the  sewage  of  the 
asylum;  they  therefore  promptly  made  tho  noooasary  appropriation  for  the  correction  of 
the  evil. 

"The  legislature  of  1><86  paused  an  act  making  It  t'-je  duty  of  tho  State  Board  of  Health  ^i 
collect  vital  statistics.  In  tnis  wo  havo  been  butiartially  succossfid;  each  new  innovation 
requiies  time  for  Its  perfecting,  and  this  now  laXor  imposed  upon  the  Board  has  been  no 
e;roeption  to  the  rule.  In  our  state  tho  dorks  of  county  courts  reoeivo  the  reports  of  births 
and  deaths  from  the  physicians  and  send,  at  the  e,id  of  tho  year,  a  tabulated  statement  to 
the  secretary  of  tho  State  Board  of  Healtli.  We  havo  considerable  trouble  getting  the 
clerks  to  perform  tho  work  correctly."

In  the  kingdom  will  durint;  the  next  year  be  obl'^ud  to  alter  thulr  uurrloula  of  study  and 
their  oxaminatiunB  so  aa  to  oonform  thereto. 

PRorH^sioNAii  Education.— 1.  "The  course  of  professional  study  after  roRlstratlon 
■hould  occupy  at  least  live  yjars.  conditional!/." 

2.  "The  first  four  of  the  llvo  years  should  bo  passed  at  a  Hchool  or  schools  of  medicine 
recognized  by  any  of  the  llcenslue  bodies  mentioned  In  H(!hodulo  A  of  the  Medical  Act 
(1858),  provided  that  the  first  year  may  bo  passod  at  a  university  or  teaohluB  Institute. 
rocoRnizod  by  any  of  the  licenalnji  bodies,  where  the  subjects  of  physics,  chemistry  and 
biology  are  taught." 

3.  "Graduates  In  arts  or  science  of  any  university  recognized  by  the  Medical  Council 
who  shall  have  spent  a  year  in  the  study  of  physics,  chemistry  and  biology,  and  have 

Eassed  an  examination  in  these  subjoots  for  the  degrees  In  question,  should  be  hold  to 
ave  completed  the  flrst  of  the  five  years  of  medical  study." 

4.  "The  fifth  year  should  be  devoted  to  clinical  work  at  one  or  more  of  Huch  nubile  hos- 
pitals or  dispensaries,  Uritlsli  or  foreign,  aH  may  be  rei-ognized  by  any  of  tno  medical

factory to  the  medical  authorities." 

5.  "The  regulations  of  the  examining  bodies,  and  of  the  schools,  should  be  so  framed

of  a  duly  qualified  teacher." 

8.  "In  order  to  promote  a  practical  system  of  clinical  teaching,  the  regulations  should

15.  "Tho  system  of  compensation  as  between  the  three  different  subjects  of  the  quali- 
fying examinations— viz.,  medicine,  surgery  and  midwifery— is  contrary  to  tho  intention 
of  tho  Medical  Act  (188(i),  ami  tho  Council  directs  tho  attention  of  tho  several  medical  authr- 
ities  to  this  fact." 

IG.  "The  marks  for  the  written  and  oral  examinations  in  medicine  and  surgery  at  the 
final  oxaminution  should  not  exceed  those  for  the  clinical  and  practical  portions  of  the  ex- 
amination." 

17.  "Seeing  that  tho  practice  of  dlfCoront  authorities  varies  on  tho  question  whether  a 
student  who  fails  to  satisfy  the  oxarainers  in  each  of  tho  several  subjects  of  modioiiie,  sur- 
gery and  mid  ivifi'ry  should  bo  referred  on  all  of  them,  or  only  on  those  in  which  ho  falls, 
the  Council  recommends  that  somci  general  principle  should  bo  adopted  with  reference  to 
this  question;  and  sugaesiH  that  a  pc^reentase  of  not  loss  than  60  marks  on  i^ach  of  any  two 
subjects-supposing  that  tho  pass  requliement  bo  50  per  cent.— should  exempt  from  re- 
examination in  those  two  subjects." 

lt>.  "The  Council  recommends  to  the  examining  bodies  tho  use  of  a  percentage  system 
of  marks;  an  ,  for- the  facilitating  the  work  of  the  inspectors  appointed  by  the  Council, 
tli3  adoption  of  a  uniform  pa.ss  mark  of  50  per  cent."

UNIVERSITY  OF  OXFORD. 


There  are  two  Ueprroes  in  modieine,  ^  M.  and  D.  M.,  and  two  degrees  in  Surgery,  B.  Ch. 
and  M.  Ch.,  and  a  diploma  in  Public  H  ^Ith. 

The  B.  M.  and  B.  Ch.  degrees  are  granti.'d  to  those  members  of  the  University  who  have-  • 
passed  the  Second  Examination.    Graduates  in  Arts  (B.  A,  or  M.  A.)  are  alone  eligible  for  ' 
these  two  degrees.    After  the  degree  of  B.  A.  is  obtained,  the  degrees  of  B.  M.  and  B.  Ch. 
may  be  obtained  by  passing  the  following  examinations:   1.  Preliminary,   a.   Professional.  - 
(a)  First  Examination:  Sub,ioets— Organic  chemi.'<try,  unless  the  candidate  has  obtained  a' 
first  or  second  class  in  chemistry  in  the  Natural  Science  School;  human  physiology,  unless 
he  has  obtained  a  first  or  second  class  in  animal  physiology  in  the  Natural  Science  School; 
human  anatomy.    (6)  Second  Examination:  Subjects— Medicine,  surgery,  midwifery,  path- 
ology, forensic  medicine  with  hygiene,  and  materia  medica  with  pharmacy. 

The  degree  of  D.  M.  is  granted  to  Bachelors  of  Medicine  of  the  University— (1)  who 
took  the  degree  of  B.  M.  previously  to  the  end  of  Trinity  Term,  188G,  provided  they  have 
spent  three  years  in  the  practice  of  medicine  after  taking  that  degree,  and  have  composed , 
a  dissertation  on  some  medical  subject  approved  by  the  llegius  Professor  of  Medicine,  be- 
fore whom  it  must  be  read  in  public;  (2)  who  took  the  degree  of  B.  M,  subsequently  to  tho 
end  of  Trinity  Term,  :88§,  provided  they  have  entered  their  thirty-ninth  term  and  have 
comviosod  on  some  medical  subject  a  dissertation  which  is  approved  by  the  professors  in 
the  faculty  of  medicine  aid  examiners  for  the  decree  of  B.  M.  whose  subject  is  dealt  with. 
A  book  published  within  t  yo  years  of  the  candidate's  application  for  tho  degree  may  be 
substituted  for  a  dissertation.  The  degree  of  M.  Ch.  is  granted  to  Bachelors  of  Surgery  of  ' 
the  University  who  have  entered  their  twenty-seventh  term,  who  are  members  of  th& 
surgical  staff  of  a  recognized  hospital,  or  have  acted  as  dresser  or  house  surgeon  in  such  a

nation has  been  completed.  Organic  chemistry  may  be  tjiken  up  on  a  separate  ooca.sion. 
but  before  human  physiology  and  anatomy.  The  two  last  named  subjects  must  be  taken 
together. 

The  second  examination  may  be  passed  after  the  completion  of  the  first.  Materia 
medica  and  pharmacj^,  if  not  already  passed,  may  be  offered  separately,  but  before  the  re-

UNIVERSITY  OF  CAMBRIDGE. 

The  student  i,.ust  enter  at  one  of  the  colleges,  or  as  a  non-collegiate  student,  and  keep 
nine  terms  by  residence  in  the  University.  Ho  must  pass  the  Previous  Examination  In 
classics  and  mathematics,  which  may,  and  should  if  possible,  be  done  immediately  on  com- 
int^iuto  residence  in  October,  or,  what  is  bettor,  obtain  exemption  through  the  Oxford  and 
Cambridge  Schools  Examination  Board  or  the  Local  Examinations,  before  commencing 
residence.  He  may  then  di'vote  himself  to  medical  study  in  tho  University,  attending  the 
hospital  and  tho  medical  lectures,  dissecting,  etc.  Or  he  may  proceed  to  take  a  degree  in 
Arts,  either  continuing  mathematical  and  claHsical  study  and  passing  the  ordinary  exami- 
nations for  B.  A.,  or  going  out  in  one  of  tho  Honor  Triposes.  The  natural  sciences  tripos  is 
the  most  appropriate,  as  some  of  the  subjects  are  practically  the  same  as  those  for  the  first 
and  second  M.  B.  examinations. 

Bachelob  of  Medicine  (M.  B.)  Five  years  of  medical  study  are  required.  This  time 
may  be  spent  in  Cambridge  or  elsewhere.  The  first  three  or  four  years  are  usUally  spent 
in  Cambridge,  the  student  remaining  in  the  University  till  he  has  passed  (say)  the  examina- 
tion for  the  natural  sciences  tripos  and  the  first  and  second  examinations  for  M.  B.  Cam- 
bridge being  now  a  complete  school  of  medi<!ine,  aU  the  requisite  lectures  and  hospital 
practice  majf  be  attended  liere,  and  many  students  remain  to  attend  lectures  and  hospital 
practice  until  they  have  passed  the  first  part  of  the  third  examination  for  M.  B.  The  sup- 
ply of  subjects  for  dissection,  etc.,  is  unusually  abundant. 

There  are  three  examinations  for  M.  B.  The  first  in  chemistry  and  other  branches  of 
physics,  and  in  elementary  biology.  These  may  be  taken  together  or  separatey.  The  sec- 
ond in  human  anatomy  and  physiology,  and  in  pharmaceutical  chemistry.    These  may  be 


^:

tr 


taken  tosrether  or  separately.    The  third  may  be  also  taken  in  two  parts— viz.,  (1)  principles 


and  practice  of  Hurgery  (with  operative  and  clinical  surgery)  and  midwifery  and  diseases  of 
women,  and  (2)  pathology,  principles  and  practice  of  modieine,  ulements  of  hygiene,  and 
modioai  jurisprudence.    The  examinations  are  partly  in  writing,  partly  oral,  and  partly 


practical.  In  the  hospital,  in  the  disaectlng-room,  and  in  the  laboratories. 

Previously  to  the  first  examination,  lectures  must  have  been  attended  on  chemistry 
(with  manipulations).  Previously  to  the  second  examination,  the  student  must  have  at- 
tended leotiu-es  on  human  anatomy  and  physiology,  have  dissected  for  six  months,  and  at- 
tended hospital  practice  six  months.  Previously  to  the  tlrnt  part  of  the  third  oxaminat  on, 
he  must  hiive  attendeil  lectures  on  pathology,  the  principles  and  practice  of  surgery  and 
midwifery,  twenty  cases  of  midwifery,  and  produce  a  certificate  of  proficiency  in  vaccina- 
tion, and  must  also  have  acted  as  house  surgeon  or  dresser  for  six  months,  and  have  gone 
through  a  course  of  instruction  in  practical  surgery.  Previously  to  the  S'  cond  part  of  the 
third  examination,  he  must  have  attended  lectures  on  the  principles  and  practice  of  physio, 
the  physiological  action  and  therapeutic  uses  of  drugs,  and  medical  jurisprudence;  also 
the  medical  and  surgical  practice  of  a  hospital,  with  clinical  lectures,  for  three  v ears;  and 
have  been  clinical  clerk  for  six  months.  Before  proceeding  to  the  degree  of  M.  B.  the  can- 
didate must  compose  an  original  thesis  on  some  one  of  the  subjects  prescribed  for  the  sev- 
eral examinations,-  and  defend  the  same  in  public  before  the  Regius  Professor  of  Physic. 

As  oper.itivo  and  clinical  surgery  now  form  parts  of  the  third  M.  B.  examination,  candi- 
dates who  i.ave  passed  that  examination  are  admitted  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Surgery 
(B.  C.)  without  separate  examination,  and  without  keeping  an  act. 

DocTOB  IN  Medicine  may  bo  taken  three  years  af  er  that  of  M.  B.  An  act  to  be  kept, 
consisting  of  an  original  thesis  sustained  in  the  public  schools,  with  rivd-voce  examination; 
and  an  extempore  essay  has  to  be  written  on  some  subject  relating  to  phyMOlogy.  pathol- 
ogy, the  practice  of  medicine,  or  state  medicine. 

Master  in  Surgeby  (M.  C).— The  candidate  must  have  passed  all  the  examinations  for 
B.  C.  He  is  re(iuiied  to  pass  an  examination  in  surgical  anatomj'  and  surgical  operations, 
pathology,  and  the  principles  and  practice  of  surgery,  and  to  write  an  extempore  essay  on 
a  sui-eical  subject.  Beforehe  can  be  admitted  to  this  examination,  two  years  at  least  must 
li>         lapsed  from  the  time  when  he  completed  all  reauired  for  the  degree  of  B.  C. 

.n  abstract  of  the  rogvilatlons  and  schedules  of  the  range  of  the  examinations  in  chem- 
istry, physics,  biolopy,  and  pharmacy  may  be  obtained  upon  sending  a  stamped  directed 
envelope  to  the  Assistant  Registrar,  Cambridge.  Full  informution  is  contained  in  the  Cam-

other  surgical  duties  incident  to  military  service.  Those  on  military  medicine  treat  of

The  selection  of  surgeon-major  for  advancement  to  the  grade  of  brigade-surgeon 

wni 


made  on  the  grounds  of  nbilit.y  and  merit,  In  determining  which  the  following  points  will 
be  oonfiidi'red:  The  ofHoor  to  be  so  sflectcd  must  have  heon  favorably  reported  on  by  the 
Bovoral  mllitai-y  and  dopartmental  oflflcers  under  whom  he  may  havo  sorved,  as  sot  forth  in 
their  annual  conlUlontial  report.  Ho  must  be  physicially  lit  for  genornl  service,  and  have 
the  necessary  aualifying  foreign  and  Indian  service  under  existing  rules.  The  examina- 
tion tests  for  promotion  to  this  grade  have  been  discontinued. 

Brigade  surgeons,  to  be  eligible  for  selection  as  deputy  surgeons-general,  must  have 
served  abroad  at  least  ton  years,  of  which  three  must  have  beon  in  India.  All  officers 
under  the  rank  of  dev)uty  snrgcon-genoral  are  plaofd  on  the  retired  list  at  the  ago  of  flfty- 
flve.  and  those  of  that  rank  and  surgeons-general  at  the  ace  of  sixty,  except  that  In  any 
particular  cas(>  in  which  it  may  be  considered  necessary  for  the  interest  of  the  public  serv- 
ice to  keep  a  surgeon-general  on  full  pay,  the  age  of  retirement  may  be  extended  to  sixty- 
two. 

The  regulations  above  noted,  respecting  the  promotion  of  surgeonss  and  surgeons- 
major  are  eciiially  applicable  to  the  Indian  medical  service,  except  that  a  surgeon  may  be 
promoted  to  the  rank  of  surgoon-major  at  less  than  twelve  years'  service,  should  the  Secre- 
tary of  State  for  India,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Viceroy,  consider  such  promotion  to 
be  for  the  good  of  the  s(!rvice. 

The  conditions  of  admission  Into  the  Naval  Medical  Service  aro  the  same  as  those  for 
the  Army;  but  the  candidate  is  also  required  to  declare  his  readiness  to  engage  for  general 
service,  and  to  proceed  on  duty  abroad  whenever  ■(■eauirod  to  do  so.  After  having  passed 
the  oompetitlvo  examination  in  London  the  successful  candidate  will  receive  a  commission 
as  surgeon  in  the  Royal  Navy,  "and  will  undei  go  a  course  of  practical  instruction  in  naval 
hygiene  at  Haslar  Hospital." 

Surgeons  are  promoted  to  staff  surgeons  after  twelve  years  from  ihe  date  of  entry, 
provided  they  pass  the  re(iuisito  examination;  and  staff  snrgeous  to  Hoot  surgeons  after 
twenty  years  service,  if  recommended  by  the  Director-General.  Deputy  inspectors-gen- 
eral are  promoted  by  selection  from  the  fleet  surgeons,  and  inspectors-general  from  the 
deputy  inspectors-general  having  three  years'  foreign,  four  years'  mixed,  of  which  not  less 
than  two  have  been  abroad,  or  five  years  home  service  in  such  appointments  as  preclude 
foreign  service  provided  they  have  not  refused  to  go  abroad  wlien  called  upon  to  do  so. 
Inspectors  and  deputy  inspectors-general  are  retired  compulsorily  at  sixty,  and  other 
grades  at  fifty-five  years  of  age,  and  all  ranks  at  any  time  if  they  have  not  served  for  five 
years.  In  calculatmg  service  for  retirea  pay,  time  on  half-pay  will  be  taken  as  equivalent 
to  one-third  service  on  full-pay.

PRELIMINARY  EDUCATION  IN  FOREIGN  COUNTRIES.* 

As  the  subject  of  the  preliminary  education  of  medical  students  has  recently  been  under 
discussion  in  various  quarters,  it  may  not  bo  unprofitable  to  glance  at  the  systems  and  re- 
QUirements  of  foreign  countries  as  regards  this  matter. 

In  order  that  some  kind  of  a  comparison  may  be  made  between  foieign  and  British  ex- 
aminations, we  give  the  programme  of  the  Medical  Council  now  in  force  for  the  preliminary 
examination.  The  subjects  are;  1.  English  language,  including  grammar  and  composi- 
tion. 2.  Latin,  including  grammar,  translation  from  specified  authors,  and  translation  of 
easy  passagr  •'ot  taken  from  such  authors.  3.  Mathematics,  (a)  arithmetic,  including 
vulgar  and  r  actions,  (6  algebra,  including  simple  eauations,  (c)  geometry,  includ- 

ing the  flrs'  SucHd.  with  easv  questions  ou  the  subject  matter  of  the  same.    4.    Ele- 

menta  y  of  solids  iind  fluids,  comprising  the  elements  of  statics,  dynamics,  and 

hydro  is  subject  may  be  posponed  until  the  next  examination.)    5.    One  of  the 

follf  ual  subjects:  (o)  Greek,  (h)  French,  (c)  German,  (d)  Italian,  (e)  any  other 

moi  ja^e.  (/)  logic,  {g)  botany,  (/i)  zoology,  (i)  elementary  chemistry.    The  above  is 

of  C  lO  minimum,  and  is  represented  more  or  loss  accurately  by  such  examinations 

as  ti».  Jid  by  the  Apothecaries'  Hall  and  by  the  second  class  College  of  Preceptors'  exam- 
ination. About  half  of  tho  total  number  of  students  who  register  annually  have  passed  an 
examination  of  this  class. 

A  large  number  of  medical  students,  however,  pass  an  arts  examination  of  a  somewhat 
higher  class,  of  which  the  matriculation  examination  of  the  University  of  London  or  the 
senior  local  examinations  of  Oxford  or  Cambridge  may  be  taken  as  types.  The  subjoota 
for  the  London  matriculation  are— 1.  Latin;  translation  from  selected  authors  and  of  easy 
passages  from  other  bocks.,  grammar,  and  oa.sy  sen'ences  to  be  translated  into  Latin. 
2.  One  other  language:  Greek,  French,  Gorman,  Sanskrit,  or  Arabic— grammar,  and  trans- 
lation into  Englisn  only.    3.    English  language,  Enghsh  history,  and  tho  geography  relating

In  thoHe  wo  may  (Mass  the  B.  A.  deffroo  of  Oxford  and  Oambrldne,  anil  the  Intermediate 
B.  A.  examination  in  London.  The  Hubjeots  for  the  latter,  whleh,  as  will  be  M(!en  later  on, 
eorroHpondH  sonu'wliiit  with  several  of  the  continental  inininium  examinatioim  for  raedioal 
students  are— 1.  I/atin;  translations  of  selected  and  non-seleoted  authors,  grammar,  and 
short  passages  to  be  translated  Into  Latin:  Iloman  history.  2.  Greek;  i;''<^Q>ii>&>°>  and

with  the  elenumts  of  coordinate  geometry ;  trlKonomotry.  Thi<  number  of  students  who 
present  proof  of  a  prellmhiary  education  of  this  class  annually  is  considerably  under  lUO, 
t liough,  of  course,  an  app*  lolable  number  subseauently  pass  hiKher  examinations. 

It  is  very  dirtloult  to  gauue  the  severity  of  an  examination  from  a  prospectus,  however 
detailed.  With  reeard  to  the  minimum.  It  may  be  mentioned  as  a  guide  that  it  is  quite 
commonly  passtut  by  boys  between  fourteen  and  llfteen  of  no  special  ability,  and  that  all 
the  subjectH  except  I,alln  could  be  paHSod  by  the  brighter  lads  in  the  beventti  standard  In 
many  or  the  London  Board  Schools.  In  a  few  such  schools  the  Latin  itself  could  also  bo 
achieved,  and  it  must  be  remembered  that  even  in  the  others  several  subjects  are  taught, 
such  as  geographv,  ndiglous  knowledge,  and  drawing,  which  are  not  required,  so  that  it 
may  fairly  t)0  said  that  a  moileratoiy  intelligent  lad  of,  say,  fourteen  years  of  age,  who  has 
passed  creditably  through  a  Board  School,  has  as  much  education  as  is  demanded  from  a 
medical  student.  The  (luostion  as  to  the  sufficiency  of  this  is  dioussed  in  another  ;"ige. 
There  Is  no  doubt  that  ft  is  far  less  than  is  required  by  any  other  European  country,  most 
of  which  insist  upon  a  long  school  course,  llnlshlng  up  with  an  examination  equivalent  to 
that  for  the  B.  A.  degree  In  many  universities,  and  Including  a  greater  multiplicity  of  com- 
palaory  subjects  than  Is  to  be  found  in  the  programme  of  even  the  London  matriculation. 

In  comparing  Oontinontnl  examinations  with  British  it  should  be  marked  that  where- 
as with  us  the  exuminers  are  usually  entire  strangers  to  the  candidates,  abroad  pupils  are 
much  more  commonly  examined  by  their  own  teiwhers,  with,  perhaps,  an  official  or  gov- 
ernment inspector  as  a  kind  of  assessor.  For  this  reason  tne  British  system  Is  the  more 
difficult  and  the  more  uncertain  of  the  two. 

In  France  there  are  two  grades  of  medical  practitioners— viz.,  Bocteur  en  Medecine 
and  Ufficier  de  Sante.  The  latter  is  likely  to  be  abolished  shortly.  The  preliminary  educa- 
tion required  for  the  lower  grade  is  very  moderate.  The  examination  includes  a  knowledge 
of  Latin  or  one  modern  language;  a  piece  of  easy  prose  composition  has  to  be  written  and 
an  author  translated,  the  standard  oxneote.l  to  be  attained  being  that  of  "  the  fourth  form." 
There  are  also  French,  arithmetic  an<l  algebra,  iind  very  oK^mentary  chemistry,  physios  and 
natural  liistory.  This  examination  is  probably  about  equivalent  to  the  minimum  ones  in 
Great  Britian.  Medical  students  who  propose  to  take  the  diploma  of  Docteur  are  obliged 
to  have  had  a  very  superior  education,  having  to  possess  the  degrees  of  BaoheUer  ea  Let- 
tres  and  Bachelier  es  Sciences  (the  latter  modified  in  respect  of  the  mathematical  part  of 
the  examination).  The  examinaiions  for  the  Bachelier  ?s  Lettres  comprise  the  subjects 
taught  In  the  throe  highest  classes  of  Lycees,  corresponding  to  the  fourth,  llfth  and  sixth, 
or  perhaps  more  nearly  to  the  lower  and  upper  fifth  and  the  sixth  forms  of  an  English 
school.  A  niece  of  Latin  prose  and  an  essay  in  German  or  English  are  required,  a  dic;tion- 
ary  being  allowed  for  the  latter.  Candidates  are  also  examined  in  a  number  of  authors- 
Greek,  Latin  and  either  Englisli  or  Gorman.  There  is  e.  good  deal  of  history,  jioography, 
and  French  Uterature,  also  aritlimctic  to  square  root  algebra  to  quadratic-*,  geometry 
<about  equivalent  to  the  whole  of  the  Euclid  read  in  England,  and  a  little  of  Conic  8oo- 
tlons),  elementary  logic  and  mental  and  moral  philosophy,  and  elementary  chemistry, 
phvslos  and  natural  history.  Altogether  these  examinations  are  stated  by  those  who  have 
Iiad  good  opportunities  of  judging  to  be  qui'e  as  difficult  as  the  intermediate  B.  A.  of  the 
University  of  London  or  as  the  pass  B  A.  at  Oxford  or  Cambridge.  This,  however,  is  not 
all,  for  there  is  also  the  BaoheUer  es  iJci^nces  (modified),  to  pass  which  includes  a  con- 
siderable amount  of  chemistry,  astronomy  (non-mathematical  of  course),  zoology,  botany 
apd  geology.  This  examination  is  said  to  be  at  least  as  difficult  as  the  preliminary  scienti- 
fic examination  for  the  London  M.  B.  It  does  not,  however,  take  its  place,  for  the  first  of 
the  five  subsequent  examinations  for  the  doctorate  comprises  physics,  chemistry  and 
natural  history. 

In  Germany  the  "leaving"  or  Abitttrienten  examination  Is  generally  looked  upon  as 
more  formidable  than  the  professional  examinations  which  come  after.  It  must  bo  passed 
at  a  classical  school  or  Gymnasium,  and  is  conducted  by  the  masters  themselves  under  the 
control  of  a  Government  official  or  Schulrath.  The  subjects  are  those  taught  in  the  highest 
class.  They  areas  fellows:— 1.  Classics.  A  considerable  amount  of  Latin  is  required;  not 
only  a  good  many  authors  must  be  known,  but  an  essay  is  given  and  a  piece  of  prose.  In 
Greek  a  knowledge  of  several  a\ithors,  such  as  Thucidydes,  Sophocles,  and  Homer,  is  ex- 
pected. 2.  One  modern  language ;  French  is  generally  taken.  Not  only  are  authors  given, 
but  composition  is  required,  no  dictionary  being  allowed,  3.  German.  A  very  extensive 
knowledge  of  the  language  and  literature  is  necessary.  4.  Ancient  and  Modern  History. 
Here  the  examination  covers  very  wide  ground.  6.  Mathematics.  This  includes  arithme- 
tic, algebra  to  probabilities,  and  the  binomial  theorem ;  geometry,  equivalent  to  the  whole 
of  Euclid  as  read  in  England,  and  conic  sections;  trigonometry.  6.  Natural  science,  in- 
clcding  elementary  moenanlcs,  astronomy,  chemistry,  physios,  and  natural  history.  6.  Re- 
ligious knowledge,  according  to  the  religion  of  the  candidate's  parents— Protestant  or 
Roman  Catholic.  This  exammation  can  bo  much  more  fltiv  compared  to  that  for  higher 
certificates  conducted  by  the  Oxford  and  Cambridtje  Schools'  Examination  Board  than  to 
Any  of  the  more  public  examinations  held  in  Great  Britain,  such  as  those  of  the  London

Dnlversitv.  It  Is,  however,  probably,  on  the  whole,  as  difficult  as  the  intermediate  B.  A  and 
the  matriculation  examinations  taken  together,  and  it  certainly  requires  a  much  better 
knowledge  of  Latin  than  even  the  tlnal  B.A.  examination  in  London.  A  boy  of  moderately 
good  ability  who  has  gone  through  school  satisfactorily  is  not  expected  to  be  able  to  paaa 
the  A  biturienten  Examen  until  he  la  eighteen  or  nineteen  years  of  age. 

In  Austria  the  Maturitdtsvrnfung  or  Matura  examination,  which  admits  to  university 
matriculation,  is  passed  at  a  classical  gymnasium,  and  is  very  similar  to  Xhn  Abituriente.n 
Examen  in  Germany,  at  least  in  the  German  parts  of  Austria.  The  course  at  the  gymna- 
sium cannot  be  commenced  before  ten  years  of  age,  and  requires  eight  years. 

In  Russia  the  examination  at  the  end  of  the  eight  years'  public  school  course  is  some- 
what similar  to  the  German  Ahiturienten  Examen;  but  more  stress  is  laid  on  modern  lan- 
guages, a  thorough  knovvledgeof  German  and  French  being  required.  Both  Latin  and 
Greek  are  necessary,  but  perhaps  not  quite  to  the  same  extent  as  in  Germany. 

In  Italy  a  person  desiring  to  commence  the  study  of  medicine  at  any  of  the  numerous 
universities  must  &how  that  Tie  has  passed  through  an  eight  years'  course  of  study  at 
school— that  is  to  saw  five  years  in  a  (rinnasto  and  three  years  in  a  Llceo.  Both  Greek 
and  Latin  must  be  studied,  but  in  the  ilnal  examination  for  the  Licema  liceale,  which  cor- 
responds somewhat  to  the  French  Baccalaui-eat  es  Lettres;  Greek  is  not  compulsory. 
French,  too.  Is  taught  in  the  Ginnasio,  but  not  in  the  Liceo,  and  so  does  not  enter  into  the 
flial  examination.  A  good  knowledge  of  Latin  is  required,  including  several  authors  and 
both  prc-i  and  verse  composition.  A  considerable  amount  of  history,  geography  and 
Italian  rature  is  required.  In  mathemetics,  algebra  is  required  to  logarithmB  and 
quadri.  ,  equations,  Euclid  to  the  sixth  tiook  (including  the  fifth),  plane  trigonometry  and 
conic  sections,  also  mechanics.  In  science,  elementary  physics,  chemistry,  and  natural 
history  are  necessary. 

In  Switzerland  several  Latin  authors  are  required,  Livy,  Cicero,  Vi.  gil,  with  some 
parts  of  Horace,  and  Plautus.  The  Greek  authors  are  Homer,  Xenophon,  and  portions  of 
Plato,  and  Sophocles.  Greek  may,  however,  be  omitted  if  English  or  a  third  Bwiss  lan- 
guage is  taken.  A  full  examination  in  the  literature  of  the  native  language  must  bo  passed, 
and  a  good  knowledge  of,  with  ability  to  write  and  speak,  a  second  Bwiss  language  is  re- 
quired. Acquaintance  with  ancient  and  modern  history  with  geography  is  necessary.  In 
mathematics,  aigfbi a  is  required  to  the  binomial  with  positive  indices;  also  geometry, 
plane  trigonometry,  conies,  and  the  rudiments  of  spherical  trigonometry.  In  addition  to 
these  subjects,  there  is  an  elementary  examination  in  natural  science,  embracing  me- 
chanical and  natui al  philosophy,  chemistry  and  natural  h'story.  This  examination  may  be 
compared  to  the  matriculation  and  intermediate  B.  A.  examinations  of  the  University  of 
London  taken  together. 

In  Belgium,  where  a  satisfactory  leaving  certificate  from  school  is  not  produced,  a  stu- 
dent must  pass  an  examination  comprising— 1.  The  principles  of  rhetoric.  2.  Translation 
,  into  French  oi  i'lemish  of  a  Lai  In  author.  3.  Translation  of  a  Flemish,  German,  or  English 
author,  at  the  candidate's  choice.  4.  An  essay  in  French  or  Flemish.  6.  Arithmetic.  6. 
Algebra,  including  progressions  and  logarithms.  7.  Plane  geometry,  and  the  elements  of 
geometry  of  three  dimensions.  8,  Geography.  !).  The  history  of  Belgium,  10.  The  princi- 
pal facts  of  ancient,  medi.'uval  and  modern  history.  In  addition  to  those  subjects  the  gov- 
ernment may  prescribe  translation  from  Greek  into  French  or  Flemish. 

In  Holland  any  one  of  the  following  three  examinations  Is  accepted— 1.  The  examina- 
tion for  promotion  from  the  fourth  to  to  the  nfth  form  of  a  gymnasium  or  classical  school. 
2.  The  "feftving"  examination  at  the  end  of  a  real  or  modern  school  course.  3.  A  special' 
examination  in  modern  subjects  without  Latin  or  Greek.  It  wiU  be  noticed  that  Holland  is 
the  only  country  in  Europe  in  which  a  complete  license  to  practice  can  be  obtained  without 
a  knowledge  ot  Latin.  A  candidate  who  commences  medical  study  after  a  non-classical 
examination  can  only  pi  ooeed  to  the  diploma  of  Arts  or  medical  practitioner.  For  the  de- 
gree of  Doctor  of  Medicine  a  classical  school  must  have  been  gone  through. 

In  Sweden,  Norway,  and  Finland,  besides  the  leaving  certificate  from  school,  a  course 
of  at  least  a  year  and  an  examination  in  mental  and  moral  science  at  the  University  is  re- 
quired before  a  student  is  allowed  to  enter  on  the  study  of  the  sciences  preliminary  to  medl- 
oiue. 

In  Denmark  the  Examen  Philosophicum,  which  used  to  be  necessary,  has'  now  been 
abolished. 

In  Spain  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Letters  and  Arte  is  required,  and  in  addition  a  fuller 
examination  in  physics,  chemistry,  and  natural  history,  together  with  elementary  German, 
For  the  BachiUerato  the  subjects  required  are  Spanish,  Latin,  geography,  rhetoric  and 

Soetry,  arithmetic  and  algebra,  geometry  and  trigonometry,  French,  nistory  (general  and 
panish),  and  the  rudiments  of  pnysics,  chemistry,  human  physiology,  and  agriculture. 

In  Portugal  a  six  years'  coui  se  is  required,  embracing  Instruction  and  examinations  Iq 
Latin,  Greek,  French,  German,  mathematics,  geography,  history,  Portuguese  literature, 
drawing  and  elementary  physics,  chemistry,  natural  history,  and  mental  philosophy. 

In  Brazil  the  candidate  lor  the  study  of  medicine  must  pass  an  examination  in  the  nat- 
ural sciences  and  in  languages. 

*        In  Chili  the  candidate  must  have  passed  the  six  years'  course  in  a  lyceum  for  the  degree 
of  Bachelor. 

In  Cuba  the  candidate  must  hold  the  Bachelor's  degree  before  beginning  the  study  of 
medioine.

Henry  Hun's  "Gfuide  to  American  Medical  Students  in  Europe";  New  York:  William  Wood 
&0o. 

The  student  who  wishes  to  educate  himself  for  the  medical  profession,  must  devote 
eight  semesters  to  medical  study,  and  must  previously  have  passed  through  the  gymnas- 
ium. The  first  four  semesters  must  be  devoted  exclusively  to  physics,  chemistry  zoology, 
botany,  mineralogy,  anatomy  and  physiology.  At  the  end  of  these  four  semesters  the  stu- 
dent may  pass  his  first  examination  (tcntamen  physicum).  With  the  fifth  semester  com- 
mences his  purely  medical  studies,  which  must  be  continued  without  interruption  for  two 
years,  and  then  the  student  may  pass  the  state  examination  (Das  medicinsoho  Staatsexa- 
men  d.  h.  die  arzthclie  Approbationspriifung).  The  university  examination  (Doctor-exam- 
ine) can  be  passed  either  aiter  or  before  the  state  examination.

The  schedule  above  given  is  merely  recommended  and  is  not  at  all  compulsory.  A  very 
similar  plan  of  studv  is  recommended  by  the  University  of  Berlin. 

The  state  examination  can  be  passed  either  before  the  chief  examininK  committee  In 
Berlin  or  before  special  examining  commitotes  which  are  annually  appointed  for  the  differ- 
ent universities.  The  application  for  permission  to  pass  the  state  examination  is  to  be 
made  either  to  the  Minister  of  Medical  Affairs  in  Berlin  or  to  the  curator  of  the  university  at 
which  the  s  udent  wishes  to  pass  the  examination.  The  application  Is  to  be  accompanied 
by  certificates  that  the  stiidont  has  completed  a  full  course  of  study  in  the  gymna^^ium  and 
in  a  university,  that  he  has  successfully  passed  the  Tentamen  physicum  and  that  ho  has  acted 
as  practicant  during  at  least  two  semesters  both  In  a  medical  and  in  a  surgical  clinic,  and 
that  he  has  attended  at  least  four  cases  of  midwifery  in  the  obstetrical  clinic. 

The  examinations  are  held  at  any  date  between  November  of  one  year  and  July  of  the 
noxt,  and  the  examination  of  ench  student  extends  over  many  days  and  Is  divided  into  five 
parts:  1,  anatomy,  physiology  and  pathological  anatomy;  2.  surgery  and  opthalmology;  3, 
medical;  4.  obstetrical  and  gynecological;  5,  final  examination. 

The  examination  in  anatomy  Is  divided  into  two  parts.  At  the  f  rst  the  candidate  draws 
by  lot  a  question  In  osteology  and  another  about  the  viscera,  and  he^.^  -•■imnT"  ""foi-  ^em- 
onatrate  the  corresponding  preparation  which  Is  handed  to  him.  He  Is  lut..  given  some 
nervous  preparation  which  ho  must  take  away  and  dissect  and  demonstrate  before  the  ex- 
aminers at  their  second  meeting. 

In  the  physiological  examination  the  oandidnte  must  draw  by  lot  two  questions,  one  on 
histology,  the  other  on  physiology,  and  immediately  discuss  them  (orally).  He  must  pre- 
pare and  demonstrate  the  histological  specimen  in  the  presence  of  the  examiners  bo  as  to 
show  his  acquaintance  with  the  microscope. 

In  the  pathological  examination  the  candidate  must  make  an  autopsy  of  the  whole  or  at 
least  a  part  of  the  body  and  dictate  the  results.  He  must  also  demonstrate  a  pathological 
specimen. 

In  the  surgical  examination  each  candidate  must  take  charge  of  two  patients  for  a  week. 
In  the  presence  of  the  examiner  he  must  examine  the  patient  and  discuss  the  etiology, 
diagno-is,  prognosis  and  treatment.  Ho  must  write  out  a  history  of  i  he  case  and  keep  a 
record  of  it  each  day.  The  candidate  must  also  attend  the  regular  morning  visits  at  least 
three  times  during  this  week  and  have  questions  about  other  cases  put  to  him.  At 
another  time  he  is  given  a  question  about  some  operation  and  must  give  an  account  of  the 
operation  and  instruments  employed,  and  then  perfoi  m  the  operation  on  the  cadaver.  He 
must  answei  in  the  same  way  another  question  on  luxations. 

In  the  ophthalmic  examination  he  'must  examine  a  patient  with  disease  of  the  eye  as 
Above  described  in  surgery.

The  medical  examination  la  conducted  in  exactly  the  samo  way  as  was  d6feoi*}t>fi4  In  the 
surgical  examination.  In  addition,  special  attention  is  paid  to  the  doses  of  medicine  and 
to  the  writing  of  proscriptions. 

In  the  obstetrical  examination  ho  is  shown  a  woman  In  labor  and  must  make  the  diaar- 
noslp  of  tho  period  of  labor,  the  position  of  the  child,  and  thirprocnosis,  and  must  conduct 
the  labor.  Ho  must  then  write  out  a  history  of  tho  birth.  In  addition,  during  sovoh  days 
he  must  examine  a  number  of  obstetrical  and  gyn^cologiea^oaSes  and  discuss  them.  Ho 
must  also  perform  operations  on  the  phtotom.        .     ' '   .      .  ■  '    ^ 

Finally  he  is  subjected  to  a  final  oral  examination  to  testhis  general  medical  knbwledge. 
Tho  cost  of  tho  examination  Is  851.    The  time  between  the  diftorent  examinations  should'- 
not  exceed  eight  day;*. 

In  order  to  pass  the  University  examination  it  is  not  necessary  to  have  passed  the 
Tentamen  physleum.  The  application  for  permission  to  pass  the  University  must  be  made 
to  the  dean  of  tho  medical  faculty,  and  must  be  accompanied  by  cortiflcates  that  the  candi- 
date has  studied  at  least  six,  in  some  Univorsitica  eight  semostors,  a  certilicato  of  good 
character  from  tho  police,  and  a  thosls  on  some  medical  subject,  and  ftlOti.  In  some  Univer- 
sities the  dean  gives  the  candidate  a  preliminary  examination  to  see  if  he  is  sulllciently  well 
prepared,  but  in  most  Universities  this  is  not  the  custom.  If  the  thesis  bo  satisfactory  to 
the  professors  then  tho  candidate  is  allowed  to  come  up  for  examination.  Tho  examination 
is  an  oral  one,  and  is  held  in  anatomy,  physiology,  general  pathology,  and  pathological 
anatomy,  special  patholotjy  and  thorapoutics,  surgery,  midwifery  and  gynecology.  After 
the  examination  the  candidate  hands  m  his  dissertation.  Tho  examination  is  held  before 
six  regular  professors,  and  each  examiner  6xamine8  for  about  a  quarter  of  an  hour.  The 
<ll8sertation  is  sometimes  discussed  in  public,  but  more  frequently  not. 

There  are  two  medical  diplomas  given  in  Germany,  ono  by  the  State  and  the  other  by 
the  University  and  each  has  its  separate  examinations  and  requirements;  the  former  being 
the  more  difficult  of  the  two.  The  state  recognizes  only  those  doctors  who  have  passed  its 
examination.  They  alone  have  a  license  to  practice  and  they  alone  can  receive  appoint- 
ments to  any  medical  office.  Those  doctors  who  have  only  passed  the  University  exam- 
ination can  hold  no  appointment,  and  cannot  insist  on  the  payment  of  their  fees  from  their 
patients.  Any  person  who  chooses,  with  or  without  a  degree,  can  practice  medicine  in 
Germany,  but  he  does  so  at  his  peril,  and  if  he  makes  any  mistakes,  he  is  punished  both  by 
fine  and  imprisonment.
